Pear Glazed Pork Chops


What a wronry wronry weekend its going to be. Scott is going up to Portland to take his level 1 cert. and I am staying home with the dogs. Yippy for me! :) I got invited to a Catalina Wine Mixer and bonfire though, NBD (no big deal).

I watched about an hour of the ducks game last night. I don't love to watch football. It might be that I don't understand it. I don't know.

I missed the 8:30am class this morning. DANGIT. I really wanted to go. They did rope climbs, I have never been able to climb a rope my whole life! I have a suspicion that I can do it now. I should probably go to class tonight and try, don't you think?

So the pot pie experiment turned out freaking delicious. I can't lie about that one.

Pear Glazed Pork Chops

3-4 bone in or not pork chops
2 ripe pears sliced thinly
1 red onion sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp coconut oil
salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 350F

 
In a large frying pan heat some animal fat to medium and place pork chops in pan, you are wanting to sear each side for about 3-5 minutes until a light crisp is formed. Once this is achieved put your pork chops in a Pyrex large enough so they are lying flat. Cook for about 15 minutes until cooked through.

While the pork chops are baking in a medium frying pan bring oil to medium heat and add sliced onions and pears thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally but not too much, you want these to caramelize. MMMM....

 
 
 
Once everything is finished cooking top your pork chops with pear and onion glaze, dig in! :)
