Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Fresh Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, and Crumbled Feta
Ingredients List
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
-
4 pork loin chops, 1 inch thick
-
salt to taste
-
black pepper to taste
-
1 pinch garlic powder to taste
-
½ pint red grape tomatoes, halved
-
½ pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved
-
3 cloves garlic, diced
-
1 tablespoon dried basil
-
2 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
-
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they become golden brown, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
-
In the same pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chops until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach 145°F (63°C) in the center. Remove the chops from the pan and keep them warm.
-
Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then stir in the cooked onions, tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the tomatoes soften. Add balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
-
Top the pork chops with the tomato-onion mixture and finish by sprinkling with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
