What better way to serve pork chops than with a sweet and tangy plum sauce! The combination of spices turns this ordinary pork dish into a family favorite! Serve with rice and sprinkle with cilantro.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 boneless pork chops
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 5 fresh plums, pitted and coarsely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to a plate.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium; cook and stir garlic in the skillet just until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; bring to a boil. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves; add plums.
Step 3
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and plums are very soft, about 45 minutes.
Step 4
Mash plums with a potato masher to an applesauce-like texture. Place pork chops back into the pan and cook in the sauce until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop should read 145 degrees (63 degrees C).
