- 4 boneless pork loin chops or cutlets, about ½ inch thick, trimmed (1-1¼ pounds total)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions

Prep

Ready In
- Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer registers 140°F, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a plate and tent with foil.
- Add onions and thyme to the pan; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add broth and water; cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in raisins and vinegar, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Serve the pork with the sauce, topped with parsley.

Excellent recipe - sliced a roast instead of using pork chops - served with microwaved polenta.

Excellent and easy. Will become one of my main recipe rotations. I served with the sweet potato recipe and substituted soy sauce for the Miso. My husband adored!

Quite easy to make. Pork chops took a little longer than the recommended 6-8 minutes. I did roasted red potatoes on the side instead of sweet potatoes because that is what we had on hand. Turned out very well.
