Maple Syrup Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops
• 125 ml of pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Mashed potatoes (for serving)
• Steamed Green Beans (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, mix the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce and chopped thyme.

2. Marinate the Chops:

   • Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Heat the Pan:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chops:

   • Remove the chops from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and season them with salt and pepper.
   • Cook the pork chops in the hot pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through.

5. Add the Marinade:

   • Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and glazes the chops.

6. Serve:

   • Arrange the pork chops on a plate, drizzle them with the maple syrup sauce.
   • Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
