Strawberry Pork Chops

I got this recipe from A Taste Of Home. My grandma Ann gives me the subscription to it. I love that magazine! When I first saw this, I was looking for something to do with my strawberries, but a different idea rather than strawberry pie. It was a hit! At first Zachary looked at it like, Eeww strawberries on my meat? But his was gone within minutes. This is definitely a dish I will be making over and over again with fresh spring/summer strawberries!
I made a just a couple of changes from the original recipe.



















STRAWBERRY PORK CHOPS

3/4 cup Raspberry vinaigrette (my recipe under Dressings and Vinaigrette)
2 Tb chopped green onion
1 Tb brown sugar
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp dried crushed rosemary
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
1 Tb olive oil
2 cups fresh Strawberries sliced 1/4 inch

In small bowl combine vinaigrette, onion, brown sugar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper
Set aside.
Sprinkle rosemary, pepper and garlic on both sides of chops.
In a large skillet cook chops in oil over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes a side or until browned.
Pour vinaigrette mixture over meat.
Cook 3-4 minutes or until pork juices run clear.
Remove pork and keep warm.
Add strawberries to the cooking juices and toss to coat, 1-2 minutes. Don't over cook the strawberries.
Serve over pork chops.
