Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1 lb bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 lb red cabbage, shredded
- 1 sweet baking apple (like Gala), sliced
- 2 c pure apple cider
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoon prepared mustard (or 1 teaspoon mustard powder)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with thyme, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings into the chops.
- 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.
- Heat 1 tablespoon 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.
- In a small bowl, mix together cider, vinegar and mustard. Pour over the veggies and deglaze the pan, scraping up any stuck bits.
- Remove the pan from the heat and nestle the pork chops into the cabbage mixture.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
