Pork Chops with Blackberry Port Sauce
Pan-seared pork chops topped with a rich, fruity port wine and blackberry sauce. This elegant dish combines sweet, savory, and tart flavors for a special occasion meal.
Ingredients:
- 6 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided 2 shallots, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves 3/4 cup sweet port wine
- 3/4 cup blackberry juice 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
Directions:
- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and pan fry the chops until they are lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Set the chops aside.
- Heat 1 more teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet, and cook and stir the shallots and thyme until the shallots start to become translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the port wine, blackberry juice, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping off and dissolving any brown flavor bits from the skillet into the sauce. Cook until reduced by a third, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water into a paste, and stir into the sauce. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the blackberries. Simmer until berries are hot.
- Return the chops to the skillet, and turn to coat with sauce. Serve hot, topped with sauce.
