Ingredients

Onion Marmellata:

1/4 cup olive oil
4 large onions, thinly sliced (about 3 pounds)
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar (or more to taste)

Pork Chops:

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 pork chops
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

For the onion marmellata, place a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the onions. Stir to combine and cook until starting to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to scrape up any brown bits. The onions should be a soft, jam-like consistency and a deep mahogany color.

Meanwhile, for the pork chops, combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Using your fingers, work all the ingredients together until well combined. Rub the herb mixture over the pork chops. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.

About 20 minutes before the onions are finished, remove the pork chops from the refrigerator. Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Grill the pork chops to medium, about 7 minutes a side depending on thickness. To serve, spoon the onion marmellata over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Not Bad
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It was pretty good. I'll probably make it again with a few tweaks. As is I wouldn't crave again.

Fixes up Teriyucki
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband had brought home two pork loins preseasoned with Teriyaki, which I hate, and I was trying to figure out something... to do with them that might help cover the evil taste. Saw this recipe, and decided to try it. I rinsed the pork well and marinated it in the seasonings the recipe gives for the pork while the marmellata was cooking. Pan seared and roasted the pork loins, and made a pan sauce with the drippings, using some pork boullion and a little lime juice. Beautiful! These onions rock, and the pork was better than just the 'palatable' I was hoping for--delicious! Giada, yet another winner--even in a Teriyucki smackdown!Read more

Extraordinary!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We enjoyed this dish this evening at the home of a friend. I guess I ought to say ENJOYED as the flavor in the onion... marmellattawas extraorinarily good. It was a perfect pairing with the succulent, herby pork. But we all agreed the marmellatta was outstanding and would probably be a good pairing with a number of other things...and might even make cardboard taste good! Our hostess said she first tried this recipe a week or so ago when visiting relatives who live in another state with the same great result and it took only the time prescribed in the recipe to get the marmellatta to the right color and consistency. But for our (delicious) dinner she said it took nearly four hours to achieve the same result. We're at a higher elevation so don't know if that would account for it. But we plan to make this ourselves in the next couple of weeks and we'll be sure to allow for the extra time just in case we need it. This is definitely a keeper!Read more

My husband isnt a big fan of pork chops or onions and he asks me to make this all the time. I make it with the roasted... butternut squash raviolies (they were shown on the same episode together). Have to try it!Read more

I made this for my family that came to visit, and they LOVED IT!!!!! I was fantastic, the 2 hours for the onions are sooooo... worth it. The only thing is that I changed the orange marmellata for a home made peach one, and it was delicious, defenelly would do it again.Read more

Great Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this dish a few times and everytime it' a success. Give yourself time to make the marmellata. I've made the pork... chops just with the herb mixture and it's excellent. This one is a keeper.Read more
