This simple braise packs a lot of flavor into each bite, partly because of the way the chops thaw and release their flavor into the sauce. Note the unusual method of setting the chops in the sauce: standing up and leaning against each other, with space between their bottom edges. If you stack them up like bricks, the bottom chop can burn against the hot pot (it will cool the liquid down too far before it thaws and starts to cook) while the one on top can end up undercooked, even raw. Because of the way the bell pepper strips cook in the sauce, we do not recommend using fresh bell pepper for this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp stemmed thyme leaves or 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp grated fresh nutmeg or 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS
-
Stir the broth, vinegar, thyme, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and salt in an Instant Pot. Mix in the frozen pepper strips, then set the pork chops in the pot so they stand up on their sides and lean against each other and the side of the insert with room between each for liquid and pepper strips (in other words, not in a stack). Lock the lid onto the pot.
