Sticky Smokey Pork Chops

• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 large white onion (halved then sliced)
• 2 pork chops
• 1 butternut squash - optional - but you could add sweet potatoes eg
• 1 the left over marinade
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 a little boiling water
• 1/4 tsp liquid smoke - optional

1. Place chops in a shallow bowl.
2. Prepare the marinade by mixing all ingredients and pouring over the pork chops - marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours but best to do in the morning for evening meal
3. Make the sauce by adding all of the ingredients to a small bowl and placing in the refrigerator alongside the marinating chops.
4. Heat a shallow pan or skillet with a lid and add the oil, allow to get quite hot before adding the chops.
5. Cook for 3 minutes without lifting then flip over and cook the other side for a further 3 minutes, do not cover your pan during this stage
6. Add the onions and adjust the heat to a low setting - also add the vegetables if using and toss about to coat in oil and meat juices
7. Pour in the leftover marinade, cover and cook for 5 minutes then toss the vegetables, turn the chops and pour the sauce over the chops.
8. Replace the lid and cook for a final 5 minutes.
9. Remove chops for the last minute of cooking time and stir the vegetables in the thick, sticky sauce - if sauce is too thick, add a little boiling water to the right consistency.
10. Serve with fresh vegetables
