Sometimes I go to the kitchen and just look around to see what we have. If something stands out I will see if I can come up with something interesting to do with it. Pork and apples traditionally go very well together (I always enjoy apple sauce with pork chops) and the combination of sweet apples and sweet onions was rather intriguing.
I created the dish you see below with only two chops, since I was only feeding Kylie and myself. But I have adjusted the recipe to feed a family of four. As always on this site, the amounts and ingredients are merely suggestions. Feel free to modify this to your heart's content. Make it the way you like it and enjoy it! I can't wait to try this again soon. I think next time I am going to add a bit of rosemary to the mix. Yummy!
- 4 pork chops
- 2 gala apples (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 sweet onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbs cinnimon apple sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 3 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp thyme
Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a large skillet. Add pork chops. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook chops, turning occasionally, until they are cooked all the way through and lightly carmelized on both sides. Remove chops and set aside (cover with foil to keep them warm.)
Place the onions and apples in the pan you cooked the chops in. Sprinkle with salt and cook them until well caramelized. Scoop cooked mixture and place on pork chops.
You should have plenty of leavings in the skillet. Place apple sauce in pan and stir while cooking in order to remove the bits and pieces that have stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken stock and cook until the mixture is reduced to the consistancy of a thick sauce. Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve.
