Lidia Bastianich on Instagram: "Braised Pork Chops with Red Onion, Pears and a Balsamic Reduction. This delicious dish is simple to prepare and has always been a family favorite in my house - as I’m sure it will be in yours as well. #AskLidia -The sugar in the honey helps to caramelize the pork, onion and pears as they oven-braise. It is a technique that works well with other roasted meats and birds as well. Link to full video and recipe in my bio. Buon Gusto! #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #Lidias
