Pork Chops Inspired by Target!

I saw a bottle of Archer Farms Raspberry Chipotle Sauce from Target over the weekend and thought it would be the perfect combination for pork chops! I already had some raspberries sitting in the fridge so I worked up a recipe. These came out AMAZING! Sweet from the berries with just the right amount of kick from the chipotle and a bit of tangy goodness from the apple cider vinegar. The best part was how quick and easy they were! Dinner was done in about 20 minutes. Beat that Rachael Ray!

Ingredients:


1 Tbsp olive oil
2 boneless pork loin chops
Salt and black pepper
1/4 c onions, diced
1 chipotle in adobo sauce, diced
1 tsp garlic, minced
2 tsp adobo sauce
1 c fresh raspberries
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter
Couscous, for serving
Parsley, for garnish


Prep:


1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chops and brown for 5 minutes per side. Remove chops and keep warm.


2. Add onions, chipotle, garlic, and adobo sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until onions began to soften. Add the raspberries into the sauce; cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and brown sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, scraping up brown bits for 2 minutes. Add chops back and cook until internal temperature reaches 145°F, turning occasional to coat with sauce. Remove chops to serving platter.


3. Stir in butter and turn the heat up to high. Boil until mixture thickens, 5 minutes. Pour over pork chops and serve over couscous. Garnish with parsley.
