CARAMELIZED APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Heat half the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the apples and then one stem of thyme and one bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are golden brown but not mushy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and throw away the thyme and bay leaf.
- In another skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil, the butter and the onions, then the remaining thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and throw away the thyme and bay leaf.
- To serve, warm the apples and onions over medium-high heat and spoon them around the pork chops on a warmed platter.

SAUTEED APPLES AND ONIONS
This was once a pioneer favorite. Yes, it sounds weird, but it's delicious. You'll want to have something to go with this that has some protein, like a garden burger or a brown rice packet, both of which you can microwave. Apples and onions only takes about 10 minutes, a few dollars and it's delicious as a topping for rice or even by itself for a light snack.

Steps:
- There are rubs and there are brines. A brine is a slower process where the rub, sugar and salt are diluted to penetrate the protein and break it down so that the meat is juicy, flavorful and tender after cooked. I love brined pork and chicken, but if I am cooking late and didn't think about it the day before, I will have to do a nice rub on the meat, which is just more concentrated and expedited, and that's what I have here. Pork chops go with so many accompaniments but I do love the acidity of apples or an applesauce with pork chops and the bite of mustard greens. You can use mizuna, or arugula if you cannot find mustard greens. Also, you can put a schmear of hot mustard mixed with a little honey or molasses on the plate instead for the kick. I like onion rings, in general. My other favorite accompaniment to pork chops is kimchee tossed with some fresh fruit such as peaches or plums.
- To cook the pork chops: Grind all the spices together with the sugar and rub all over the pork chops. Set aside for 30 minutes to an hour at room temperature.
- Preheat the grill on high or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop and preheat the oven to 375 degrees (Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan if cooking in cast iron).
- Cook the pork on one side for 4 to 5 minutes on the grill or in cast iron. Flip over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes on the grill; if cooking in cast iron, flip the chop and transfer to the oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- To cook the sauteed apples: In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, 1 tablespoon water and a drop of lemon juice. Cook until sugar caramelizes to golden brown. Turn off the heat and add the apple slices and star anise. Return the pan to medium-high heat, stir in the butter and remaining lemon juice. Saute, stirring, for 2 minutes, adding the brandy in the last minute of cooking with a pinch of salt. Simmer briefly to burn off the alcohol and thicken the caramel. Set aside.
- To cook the onion rings: Bring the canola oil to 360 degrees F in a large pot. Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish or bowl. Dip the onion rings in the flour mixture to dredge, shaking off any excess. Dip in the buttermilk to coat, and then back into the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour. Working in batches, fry the rings until light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
- Serve the pork chops with the sauteed apples, onion rings and mustard greens.

Steps:
- Put butter to melt in a flat bottomed pan.
- Let it go hot a little.
- Take care not to burn the same.
- Add all the chopped ingredients and increase the heat to the highest.
- While you see juices oozing out, add salt and black pepper powder.
- Keep sauteeing on high heat for around 4-5 minutes.
- Let the edges go brown a little.
- Remove from heat and serve warm with breads or steamed rice.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choice for sautéing with apples, as they have a mild flavor that will complement the sweetness of the apples.
- Cut the Onions Thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: If you crowd the pan, the onions and apples will steam instead of sautéing, and they won't brown properly.
- Cook the Onions Until They are Soft and Caramelized: This will take about 10 minutes over medium heat. Be patient and don't rush the process, as caramelized onions are worth the wait.
- Add the Apples: Once the onions are caramelized, add the apples and cook until they are softened but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes.
- Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve Immediately: Sautéed apples and onions are best served immediately, while they are still warm and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Sautéed apples and onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples and onions.
