Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 center-cut pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cups chopped pitted prunes
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from the chops. Mince about one tablespoon of the fat and heat it in a large skillet. Quickly brown the chops on both sides on a high heat in the fat. Remove chops.
  • Lower heat and add onion. Saute until tender and lightly browned. Add garlic and ginger and continue to cook, stirring for another minute or two. Add the prunes, brandy and honey. Stir.
  • Return the chops to the skillet along with any juices they may have released upon standing. Season with salt and pepper and baste with the sauce. Cover skillet and simmer very gently until the chops are just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Arrange chops on a platter. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork chops. I usually make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for later.

I had a hard time finding prunes at my local grocery store. I ended up using dried plums instead, and they worked just fine.

I found that the pork chops were a bit dry. I think I would have cooked them for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the prunes.
