Maiale in agrodolce. Sweet and Sour Pork Chops
The name itself sounds delicious, doesn’t it? “Maiale in agrodolce.” Sweet and sour glazed pork chops. This typically Roman dish is a perfect secondo and can be prepared easily for a large number of guests. Pork’s relatively cheap and the sauce is quite simple to make.
Ingredients for four persons Sugar (or honey) Rosemary Balsamic vinegar Four pork chops Salt Cracked peppercorns Olive oil Unsalted butter One onion Recipe 1. Evenly disperse a light coat of olive oil over the pork chops, seasoning with salt and pepper. 2. Combine a cup of balsamic vinegar and three tablespoons of sugar (or honey) in a small saucepan. Heat. 3. After a couple of minutes, stir in three tablespoons of butter, add rosemary, and sliced onion (which you’ll have cooked for a minute in a separate pan until golden). 4. Grill pork chops over a medium flame. Baste each chop every two minutes until done (approximately 12-14 minutes total; careful not to dry out pork chops). 5. Once pork chops are done, serve.
