Sage Honey-Glazed Pork Chops
Pork: The Other White Meat!Remember that slogan from years ago? Well, you know it's actually true. Pork chops, especially boneless chops, really are white meat. Glazed pork chops are beyond yummy in my opinion, but sometimes they can be a little too sweet. Enter SAGE! Enter BROWN BUTTER! First of all, anyone who has ever made brown butter knows how much it can change the entire flavor profile of a dish...for the better. So I got to thinking, hmmmmmmm......brown butter, honey.......hmmmmmmm.....that works......but it needs something else......hmmmmmmmmm.....SAGE! Yes...that's the ticket, sage. And so it was born: Sage Honey-Glazed Pork Chops.What makes this meal an even bigger bonus is that it cooks in less than 30 minutes. BONUS!!! I hope you'll make it; I made roasted carrots with it and drizzled the sage-honey brown butter sauce with the carrots too. O-M-G! My family couldn't get enough. Hope you have the same positive experience with this dish.
