Directions

Prep 20 minCook 20 min

1
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and allspice to taste.
2
Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a platter.
3
In a small bowl, stir together the broth, half of the bourbon, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar until the sugar dissolves. Add this mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil.
4
Add the sugar snap peas to the skillet and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scatter the peas over the pork.
5
Remove the skillet from heat. Add the remaining bourbon to the sauce in the skillet. Boil over high heat until the sauce is reduced to a thin glaze and coats a spoon lightly, about 3 minutes.
6
Mix in the fresh chopped mint, spoon the glaze over the pork, and serve.
