Preparation

Step 1

Wilt down the shallots in the olive oil until brown.

Add in red wine and balsamic and bring to a boil. Reduce to half.

In the final 5 minutes of simmering, add in 1/2 cup blueberries.

Marinade pork chops in half of this mixture for at least an hour. Save the other half to drizzle over the finished grilled chops.
