Servings: 4
- 2 8oz pork chops, 1 inch thick
- 2 garlic cloves smashed
- Olive Oil
- Butter
- 1/2 cup sweet cherry peppers sliced
- 1/2 cup hot cherry peppers sliced
- 1/2 onion sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup pepper brine
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
Add olive oil and butter to a medium skillet. Once hot, add the smashed garlic and the pork. Sear the pork for 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Remove the garlic once it starts to burn.
Once you finish searing the pork, remove the pork and set aside. Remove excess oil from the pan and drizzle with new oil. Add the onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the peppers and saute for a minute. Deglaze the pan with broth and brine.
Bring to a simmer and add the pork chops back to the sauce. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, then remove the pork once done.
Take the sauce off the heat and finish with a few tablespoons of cold butter to emulsify the sauce, then pour over the pork.
