Braised Savory Pork Chops

Total time: 30 minutes
    There are a lot of intense flavors in the sauce for these chops; best served with simple side dishes.  The sauce is reduced at the end, to thicken slightly.

 Ingredients:

• 2 - 4 pork chops, depending on size,  12oz (360gr) if boneless
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) sherry
• 3 tbs soy sauce
• 3 tbs ketchup
• 3 tbs orange marmalade
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard

 Instructions:

• In a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the chops, heat the oil over medium-high heat. 
• Add chops and brown, 3 minutes per side. 
• Mince garlic, add to chops and sauté briefly. 
• Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chops. 
• Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until pork chops are done and tender, about 20 minutes. 
• When done, put chops on a small platter and cover with the pan lid. 
• Increase heat under skillet and boil sauce for 2 - 3 minutes, to reduce slightly. 
• Spoon sauce over chops and serve.
