Moderna Pork Chops

This modern classic from Italy is an updated version of another recipe on Zaar. When I was cheffing for the Contessa, she would insist on this dish at least once a week. The balsamic vinegar imparts a slight sweetness balanced by the use of a light white vinegar.This easy to cook dish makes for a wonderful mid week meal. The photo shows the chops served with a medley of fresh vegetables and roasted potatoes.
