½ tsp. crushed red pepper

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

2 tbsp. olive oil

Glaze

1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary or ¼ tsp. dried rosemary, crushed

⅛ tsp. pepper

• Sprinkle pork chops with crushed pepper flakes, salt, and pepper (both sides).
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add pork chops; cook for 5 -7 minutes per side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a meat thermometer should read 160°). Remove from pan and keep warm.
• In the same skillet, whisk the vinegar, honey, minced onion, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 6 – 8 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
