Ingredients
  

For the Herb Marinade

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • 4 bone in pork chops
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

For the Caramelized Onions

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 1/4 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine the marinade ingredients together and pour over the pork chops. Make sure each pork chop is covered well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  • To prepare the pork chops, grill is best. You can also pan fry. Cook time on each side depends on the thickness of the meat. It’s easy to dry pork chops out so be sure to pay close attention whether or grilling or pan frying.
  • Before you begin cooking the pork chops, prepare the onions. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the butter, lemon zest, and onions. Cook, stirring often and making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 5-7 minutes or until caramelized. Serve a bit of onions on each pork chop before serving. Enjoy.
