Lower the heat and cook, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how well you like your chops done. Turn the chops occasionally while they cook. Remove them to a plate and set aside; discard almost all of the fat. Add garlic, anise seeds, balsamic vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Scrape up juices and reduce until syrupy.
