Blueberry Balsamic Pork Chops
- 4 whole Boneless, Center Cut Pork Chops
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cups Chicken Stock
- 1/4 teaspoons Thyme
- 18 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 8 ounces, weight Blueberries
- 2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Tapioca Starch (or Corn Starch)
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and pan fry in the olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 4-5 minutes on each side).
- Place the chops into the warm oven while you prepare the sauce.
- Note: You may cook the pork chops by whatever method you prefer, just keep them warm afterward.
- To the skillet/pan, add the chicken stock, thyme, nutmeg, balsamic vinegar, blueberries, brown sugar and honey, whisking to combine.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally to begin to break up the blueberries.
- Add the lemon juice and butter and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, combine tapioca or corn starch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small dish, stirring and scraping with a spoon until all the starch is dissolved and no clumps remain.
- Add this to the sauce and whisk to combine.
- The sauce will begin to thicken slightly but if your blueberries are particularly juicy, you may need to add more tapioca starch and water to achieve your desired thickness.
- Spoon sauce over pork chops and serve!
