Sweet-and-Saucy Pork Chops

Ingredients for Sweet-and-Saucy Pork Chops

• 2 (1"-thick) bone-in pork rib chops (look for the most marbled ones you can find, preferably with some fat cap too)

• Sal kosher

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, divided

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1 large shallot, chopped

• 4 dientes de ajo, finamente cortados

• 60ml de vinagre de vino tinto

• 3 ramitas de romero

• 1 cucharada de alcaparras escurridas

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Season pork chops with salt and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chops, undisturbed, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook just until second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer chops to a plate (they won’t be fully cooked); reduce heat to medium.

Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into same skillet and add shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.

Add vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon sugar to skillet. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Add rosemary, capers, and 120ml water to skillet; season with salt. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously (and vigorously) until sauce becomes smooth, glossy, and emulsified.

Return pork chops to skillet, arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce, swirling occasionally, until chops are cooked through, about 3 minutes (a thermometer inserted near the bones should register 57°C).

Transfer pork chops to plates and spoon sauce over.
