Pork with Sweet Onion Marmalade

I love this recipe not only does it provide enough sweetness but also a right balance of savory as well. I used boneless chops but bone in works fine also just adjust for cooking time. This recipe does require some time to cook but well worth the wait.


Pork with Sweet Onion Marmalade
--------------------------------

Marmalade:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 large onions sliced thinly
1/4 orange marmalade
1 tbsp each rosemary and thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar


Pork chops
-------------------------------
4-6 pork chops
2 tbs chopped garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 cup parsley chopped


For Onion Marmalade Place a large pot over medium high heat. Add Olive Oil and onions. Stir to combine and cook til sizzling. Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 2 hours stirring around every 30 minutes. The onions should be soft and a deep mahogany color.

Meanwhile for the chops combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the chops cover with plastic and let sit in refrigerator.

About 20 minutes before onions finish remove the chops from the fridge. I suggest grilling them but you can also cook in a lightly oiled pan about 7 mins per side depending on thickness. Serve with the onion marmalade spooned over top.
