Enjoy the rich flavor of this pork chop dish. The spice rub also works well on lamb or beef. —Kendra Doss, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, halved
  • 1/3 cup ruby port wine
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • PORK CHOPS:
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, saute shallot in oil until tender. Stir in the cherries, wine, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the coriander, mustard, salt and pepper; rub over chops. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Serve with sauce.
