NANCY'S PORK CHOP AND CABBAGE RECIPE



Nancy's Pork Chop and Cabbage Recipe image

This easy pork and cabbage recipe, handed down through the generations of Nancy's family, is a delicious combination of pork with cabbage.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 pork chops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder , or to taste
1 head cabbage

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Season the pork with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the pork chops in the oil, turning to brown all sides. This is key since the cabbage will get its color and flavor from the caramelization of the pork. Work in batches if needed.
  • After the pork is sufficiently brown on all sides, core a head of green cabbage and cut it into 8 wedges.
  • Lower heat to medium-low to low. Add cabbage and a little more salt, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Continue simmering, stirring frequently, until the pork is falling apart and cabbage is brown and totally wilted.
  • Serve with bread and homemade applesauce .

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pork chops, each 10 ounces (1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small head red cabbage (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup low-sodium canned or homemade chicken stock
1 large leek, white and light-green parts
1/2 small head (about 1 pound) red cabbage, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup apple cider
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1 large leek, white and light-green parts only

Steps:

  • Add cabbage, caraway seeds, thyme, salt and pepper to taste, cider, and stock to skillet, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 12 minutes.

BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH SAVOY CABBAGE



BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH SAVOY CABBAGE image

Categories     Pork     Braise

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs Savoy cabbage
6 T butter
6 T extra-virgin olive oil
6 pork loin chops
2 t coarse sea salt
2 or 3 small branches fresh rosemary
1 c white wine
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brings 6 quarts of water to the boil in the large pot. Slice the cabbage head (or heads) in half, and cut out the core completely so the leaves will separate. Discard all tough and torn outer leaves, lay the cabbage halves cut side down, and slice crosswise into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide. Drop all the strips into the water, cover the pot, and return to the boil. Cook the cabbage until tender, about 15 minutes, and drain in a colander. 2. When the cabbage is cooked, put 3 T each of butter and olive oil in the big skillet and set over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt (about 1 t in all) and lay them in the hot skillet. Drop the rosemary branches onto th epan bottom. 3. Sear the chops on the underside, about 3 minutes, turn, and brown the second side for a few minutes more. The chops should still be rare--if you like them better done, cook a minute or two longer on both sides. Remove to a platter, and keep in a warm spot. 4. Pour the wine into the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze any caramelization. Cook for just a minute or so, to dissipate the alcohol, then drop in the remaining 3 T of butter and 3 T of olive oil. Stir well until the butter melts and the liquid is bubbling. 5. Pile the cooked, drained cabbage in the skillet, turning the strips over as they heat and wilt in the pan juices. Sprinkle 1 t salt all over, and cook, tossing and stirring, until the pan is nearly dry and the cabbage shreds are just starting to caramelize. 6. Push aside the cabbage, lay the chops on the pan bottom, and pour in any meat juices from the platter. Still over medium-high heat, cook the chops for 2 or 3 minutes, turning them over once or twice, just until they're heated through. Stir the cabbage so it continues to caramelize and pick up flavor. Season with more salt and some freshly ground black pepper to taste. 7. Serve right from the skillet, or arrange chops and cabbage on a platter and bring to the table.

BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATOES, ANCHOVIES AND ROSEMARY



Braised Pork Chops With Tomatoes, Anchovies and Rosemary image

This is the sort of thing to make when you long for a satisfying, braised beef pot roast, but you don't have the several hours required. Here, pork chops are seared until they're mahogany in color, then tossed in with a quick sauce of tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and anchovies. The whole mess goes in to the oven for about 15 minutes until the chops are cooked through. Don't be put off by the anchovies; they will magically melt into the sauce.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, one pot, main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1 1/2-inch-thick bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more for seasoning pork
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more for seasoning pork
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 large rosemary sprigs
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds plum tomatoes (preferably a mix of red and yellow), roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse pork chops and pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, place 1 tablespoon oil. Sear chops until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté onion and rosemary until onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add tomatoes, anchovies and remaining salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down, about 8 minutes.
  • Add pork chops to skillet, spooning sauce over chops. Cover skillet and transfer to oven to bake until a thermometer inserted into center of meat reads 145 degrees, about 15 minutes. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes in pan. If desired, serve with polenta, noodles or rice to soak up sauce.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large onion
50g pork dripping or lard
750g white cabbage

1 tsp juniper berries
1 tsp caraway seeds
500ml dry cider
4 pork chops (each weighing about 200g)
1 tbsp oil

mashed potatoes , to serve

Steps:

  • Finely slice the onion and put it and the dripping in a heavy-based, flameproof casserole dish. Fry the onion over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 mins.
  • Cut the core from the cabbage and finely slice the leaves. Add this to the dish and toss everything together, cooking over a low heat while you peel and slice the apple.
  • Crush the juniper and caraway seeds together and add these and the apple slices to the pan. Season and pour in the cider. Stir well and bring to a simmer, cover the dish and cook for 20 mins.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Season the chops on both sides. Heat a heavy-based frying pan on a medium-high heat with the oil and brown the chops on both sides. Remove from the pan and place in the casserole dish on top of the cabbage, adding the stock cube, crumbling it over. Put the lid back on and cook in the oven for a further 30 mins. If there is a lot of liquid in the dish, place on the hob and simmer until it evaporates a little. Check the seasoning and serve with mashed potato.

  • Add vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, to the braising liquid for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Simmer the pork chops in the braising liquid over low heat until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, about 1-2 hours.
