Spiced pork chops with glaze

I found this wonderful recipe in my Weeknights with Giada cookbook.  I love it and so will you.

1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra as needed

4 (8 oz) boneless pork chops, about an inch thick

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup honey

2 garlic cloves, crushed

3 scallions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

1/2 stick butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes at room temperature

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.  Season the chops with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the red pepper flakes.  Add the meat to the pan and cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side.  Transfer meat to a platter and cover loosely with foil.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, honey, garlic, scallions and rosemary to a boil over medium high heat.  Stir occasionally until the honey has dissolved.  Lower the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly reduced.  Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter until smooth.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Drizzle the pork chops with the glaze and serve.
