Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the broiler.

Place the chops on a broiler pan that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray. Broil for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chops are cooked to desired doneness, turning halfway through the cooking.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized nonstick skillet that has been coated with nonstick vegetable spray, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the remaining ingredients except the chops; stir for 6 to 8 minutes, or until thickened.

Remove the pork chops from the broiler and place on a serving platter; spoon the onion mixture evenly over the chops and serve immediately.

Notes:
To crush the peppercorns, place them in a plastic storage bag and crush gently with a mallet or rolling pin.
