Ingredients
4 servings
- •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- •4 boneless pork chops
- •salt and ground black pepper to taste
- •1 large clove garlic, minced
- •0.25 cup soy sauce
- •2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- •2 tablespoons brown sugar
- •0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- •0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- •5 fresh plums, pitted and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium; cook and stir garlic in the skillet just until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; bring to a boil. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves; add plums.
- Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and plums are very soft, about 45 minutes.
- Mash plums with a potato masher to an applesauce-like texture. Place pork chops back into the pan and cook in the sauce until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop should read 145 degrees (63 degrees C).
