Ingredients

1 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil

2 Thin-cut boneless pork chops (8 ounces), trimmed of fat

1 Shallot, finely chopped

1/2 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1 clove Garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons Molasses

2 tablespoons Cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Reduced-sodium soy sauce

Preparation

1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a medium skillet. Add pork, and cook until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

2. Add shallot, jalapeno and garlic; cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add molasses, vinegar, mustard and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn to coat with sauce. Serve the pork with the sauce.
