Pork chop with balsamic sauce A recipe I first found in a Gourmet magazine (no longer published) many years ago, and when I first posted this I had been reading the magazine for years and have made almost nothing since then. I confess I don’t. Most Gourmet recipes seemed a little too much to me, but this one was a total keeper.

Of course, I modified it a bit from what I found in a magazine to make it less carb and a little easier to make.If you like these ingredients, make it again and again.

I couldn’t resist omitting the shallots, which I thought most people wouldn’t have on hand, and seasoning the pork chops a bit. Penzey’s Pork Chop Seasoning (affiliate link) but if you don’t have it, I’d be great without it.

I replaced the sugar called for in the original recipe with monk fruit sweetener. Because of that change, this recipe has only 8 carbs per serving. If you want to limit sugar in your diet even more strictly, I think you’ll be fine with a little less balsamic vinegar.

What if there is no pork chop seasoning?

of Penzey’s Pork Chop Seasoning (affiliate link) I used salt, hickory smoke, garlic, onion, white pepper and ginger. I’m a big fan of that blend for use in pork chops, but if you don’t have it and don’t want to buy it, use a little bit of the spice you have.

What balsamic vinegar did you use in this recipe?

This recipe doesn’t require you to use expensive aged balsamic vinegar, but choose one with good flavor.

Low Carb / Low Glycemic / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Even with the small amount of sugar in the balsamic vinegar, we think these balsamic pork chops are a good fit for the original South Beach diet or any low-carb diet. It sticks to meat. If you want to cut down on carbs/sugar, use an approved sweetener and add a little less balsamic vinegar.
