Ginger Maple Pork Chops

Ingredients:

½ onion, chopped

4 tsp canola oil, divided

2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

4 bone-in pork loin chops (6 oz. each)

½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

¼ cup maple syrup

Directions:

In a small skillet over medium-low heat, cook onion in 2 tsp oil until golden brown and very tender, about 10 minutes. Add ginger; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, combine the chili powder, salt, and cinnamon; rub over both sides of pork chops. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chops in remaining oil for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Add the broth, syrup and onion mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until meat is tender. Uncover and cook a few more minutes until liquid is thickened and reduced to ½ cup. Serve chops with sauce.

Yield: 4 servings.

These pork chops are very tasty. The only thing I changed was to increase the spice rub. I only make 3 chops and it was barely enough to cover them. But other than that, it's pretty good as it is. These are a nice twist on the usual pork chop dinner.
