(plus a quick Strawberry–Walnut–Feta side salad)
This one leans into what the Raspberry White Balsamic does best: sweet-tart fruit that loves caramelized onions and makes a glossy pan sauce for pork or chicken. I’m also using its “strawberry preserves for salad dressing” tip for a fast side that echoes the flavors on the plate.
Ingredients (serves 4)
Pork & onions
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1–1¼″ thick)
- Kosher salt & black pepper
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup Raspberry White Balsamic
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp blood orange olive oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Optional: 1 tsp honey (for extra gloss)
Quick salad
- 5 oz baby spinach (or spring mix)
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- ½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta
2-minute vinaigrette
- 2 Tbsp strawberry preserves
- 2 Tbsp Raspberry White Balsamic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch salt & pepper
The product page suggests pairing with strawberry preserves for dressings, drizzling over salads with roasted walnuts & feta, and combining with caramelized onions + blood orange olive oil for pork or chicken—this recipe does all three.
Step-by-step
- Season & sear. Pat pork dry; season well with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high with the neutral oil. Sear chops 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden. Transfer to a plate (they’ll finish in the sauce).
- Caramelize onions. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and onions with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, 10–12 minutes until jammy and deeply golden.
- Build the pan sauce. Stir in Raspberry White Balsamic, simmer 30 seconds to reduce slightly, scraping up browned bits. Add stock, blood-orange olive oil, and Dijon (plus honey if using).
- Finish the pork. Return chops and any juices to the pan. Simmer gently 3–6 minutes, turning once, until the sauce is glossy and pork hits 145°F. Rest 5 minutes.
- Make the salad. Whisk vinaigrette ingredients until smooth. Toss greens with strawberries, walnuts, and feta; dress lightly.
- Serve. Spoon onions and sauce over the chops; plate with the salad.
Tips & swaps
- Chicken thighs or breasts work great; simmer until just cooked through. temp13.atlas-design.live
- Extra bright: finish with a teaspoon more balsamic off heat.
- Meal prep: caramelize onions in advance; sauce comes together in minutes.
What internal temperature should I cook pork to?
USDA recommends 145°F with a 3–5 minute rest. The center will be slightly rosy and very juicy.
Can I use boneless chops instead of bone-in?
Yes. Use 1–1¼″ thick boneless chops. Sear 2–3 min per side, then simmer in the sauce until 145°F internal; rest 5 minutes.
