Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard
• 1 red onion, sliced into rings
• 4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops
• 2 ½ tablespoons apricot preserves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mince enough of the red onion slices to have 1/3 cup minced onion.

Step 2

Put remaining onion slices in a bowl and pour vinegar over them; marinate for 10 minutes. Drain and discard the vinegar.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; fry in the hot oil until nicely browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 4

Arrange pork chops onto serving plates; top each with a portion of the red onion slices.

Step 5

Whisk minced onion, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apricot preserves together in a bowl; serve with the pork chops.
