Preparation

Step 1

Sweet and Sour Onion: In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add vinegar, sugar, thyme sprigs, salt and pepper; cook over medium-low heat until onion is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Discard thyme.

Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper; rub onto both sides of pork chops.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook pork chops until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve topped with onion mixture.
