Ingredients

  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 lb bone-in pork chops
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 lb red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 weet baking apple (like Gala), sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  2. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
  3. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with thyme, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings into the chops.
  4. Place the pork chops in the hot pan and sear until golden, 2-3 min each side. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
  5. Heat 1 Tbsp of butter in the pan and add onion. Saute over medium heat until they begin to caramelize, 5-8 min. Add cabbage and apple slices, sautéing 2-3 minutes after each addition.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together cider, vinegar and mustard. Pour over the veggies and deglaze the pan, scraping up any stuck bits.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and nestle the pork chops into the cabbage mixture.
  8. Place the skillet or Dutch oven into the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour, uncovered, basting halfway through with the juices in the pan.
  9. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
