Recipe by Kimberly Schlapman It's funny how family sayings get picked up by friends. When I was around ten and my sister was about five, we were acting up at the dinner table. My daddy had worked a long hard day, and when he couldn't take another minute

Ingredients

Servings 4

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
4 Rosemary sprigs, plus 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
Four 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging

Instructions

Combine 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the vinegar, rosemary sprigs, garlic, and brown sugar in a large zip-top bag. Add the pork chops to the marinade and seal. Massage the chops in the bag to coat them well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade and pat them dry. (Discard the marinade.) Let the pork chops come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge them in flour.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and pan fry until they're cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Sprinkle the remaining rosemary on top of the chops at the very end for more flavor.

Why this Rosemary Pork Chops works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
