Pork chops with red onion marmelade

I found this recipe on a Norwegian web site Matprat.no. It looked so easy yet so interesting at the same time. It is amazing how some meals can be so simple and contain so few ingredients and still be so satisfying and flavorful. These pork chops were brought to life with a  red onion marmalade. Simply red onions caramelized with sweet orange marmalade. This meal was a big hit with my entire family, big and small. My 13 year old daughter is my most vocal critic and she loved it. Even the onions! I served it with plain rice and sauteed green beans.

Pork chops with red onion marmalade

6 pork chops

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil and butter for frying
1 large red onion, thinly sliced into rings
3 T red wine vinegar
2 T sweet orange marmalade

Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium High heat, brown pork chops in a combination of oil and butter; about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops continue to cook, covered about 5 minutes more.
While pork chops cook, fry onion rings in a skillet over medium heat until soft, 8-10 minutes. Increase heat to high and add red wine vinegar and cook until absorbed completely about 5 minutes. Add sweet orange marmalade and cook until slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes longer.
Top each pork chop with a nice heap of onions.
