Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless pork chops
- 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 12oz blackberries
- 1/2 small yellow onion, small dice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 C honey
- 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
- 1 T red wine vinegar
- 4 T ghee
Instructions
- In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon of ghee and the diced onion. Sauté the onions until they are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the blackberries, honey, vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Continue cooking for 20-25 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally, and help break the blackberries down by pressing on them with a spoon.
- In a large skillet on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of ghee. Sprinkle the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and the pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and cook until they are seared with a nice brown color. Flip the pork chops and cook the other side until they are brown as well.
- If you have thicker pork chops, you will want to place them in the oven at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes to finish cooking. My pork chops were about 1/2 inch thick and I did not need to do this.
- Once the pork chops are cooked through, top them with the blackberry chutney and serve.
