I’ve never liked Balsamic vinegar but had to prepare a similar recipe for work. And I loved it! So, I decided to make my own.

My version still has balsamic but I subbed coconut sugar for regular and paired it with shallots instead of onions.

This semi-sweet sauce compliments the garlic and onion flavors in the shallots for an amazing taste.

Balsamic-Glazed Pork Chops with Shallots

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 thin boneless pork chops
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar of choice (I use coconut sugar)
• salt and pepper

Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of all the pork chops. Heat a skillet to medium and add one teaspoon olive oil. Add the chops to the pan and cook 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.

Add 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and then the shallots. Cook for about 3 minutes and add the balsamic and sugar. Stir. Place the chops into the sauce and cook one additional minute. Serve hot with any additional sauce spooned over the top.
