Maple Mustard Pork Chops:

Ingredients
• 4 pork chops loin or center cut, bone or boneless, 1 inch thick
• ⅔ cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon mustard any kind
• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, dried
• 2-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• salt as needed, to taste
• pepper as needed, to taste

Instructions
• Wash and cut slices into the side of each pork chop with the fat and silver skin along the edge. This stops the pork chops from curling. Make cuts every 1 ½ to 2 inches along that edge. The cuts should be no more than ½ an inch deep.

• Dry pork chops with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.

• Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering or a drop of water flicked in it dances.

• In a small bowl combine maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, and thyme. Set aside.
Add pork chops to your skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

• Flip pork chops and add maple and mustard mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until pork chops are cooked, about 140 degrees, another 6 to 10 minutes.

• Transfer pork chops to a plate and loosely tent with foil.

• Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat until thick and almost syrupy. Return any accumulated juices on the plate back into the skillet. Stir for a minute or two to combine.

• Pour over pork chops and serve immediately with rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
