Ten cloves of garlic may sound like a lot, but after cooking garlic's pungent flavor mellows to give the chops a mild, slightly sweet taste Ingredients:
1 head garlic (about 10 cloves) |
1 cup water |
12 ounces pork loin (boneless, cut into 8 slices) |
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon mustard (honey mustard) |
1 -3 rosemary sprig (optional) |
Directions:
1. Separate garlic bulb into cloves. Do Not peel.
2. In a small saucepan combine garlic cloves and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Drain; cool slightly. Peel cloves and set aside.
3. Sprinkle both sides of pork slices with rosemary, pressing into surface of the meat.
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Cook half of pork and garlic cloves over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes or till no pink remains and juices run clear, turning meat over after half the cooking time. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining pork and garlic.
5. For sauce, stir together vinegar, 2 tbsp water, and honey-mustard. Add to garlic in skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. Bring mixture just to boiling. Reduce heat. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or till sauce becomes slightly thickened. To serve, spoon sauce over pork. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
