Pork Chops with Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, and Feta Cheese
Servings 4
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- ½ yellow onion sliced thinly
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
- 5 thin-cut pork chops
- 1 handful of red grape tomatoes
- 1 handful of yellow grape tomatoes
- 2-3 tbsp of feta cheese to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden brown and slightly caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Side Note: If the onions become too dry, add a little water as they cook.
- Add minced garlic, and cook, stirring constantly for 60 seconds. Season them with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Remove them from the large skillet and set aside.
- In the same large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and season the pork chops with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping over. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to the desired degree of doneness.
- Remove from the heat to a serving platter. Let pork rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing so it stays nice and juicy.
- Add the grape tomatoes and cooked onions to the same skillet, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until ready to burst
- Pour the tomatoes and onions on top of the pork and top with feta cheese and fresh basil.
- Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and serve. Enjoy!
