PORK CHOPS BRAISED WITH RED CABBAGE AND APPLES image

Categories     Pork     Braise

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Mustard-Thyme butter:
4 TBSPs unsalted butter, room temperature
2 TBSPs Dijon mustard
2 tsps fresh thyme leaves
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsps lemon juice
Pork and Cabbage
4 rib cut pork chops, 1 inch thick
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced carrot
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 small head red cabbage, quartered, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 medium cooking apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 clove garlic unpeeled
6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/4 tsp dried
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 TSBP balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • To prepare the mustard-thyme butter: Whisk together the butter, mustard, thyme, pepper and lemon juice until blended. Refrigerate. To prepare the pork and cabbage: Trim excess fat from outside edge of the chops, leaving about 1/8 inch. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat and brown chops well on both sides. Remove and season with some of the salt and pepper. Saute onion, carrot and celery in the pork drippings for 5 minutes. Add cabbage, apples, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Saute for another 5 minutes or until the cabbage has wilted slightly. Season with the remaining salt and pepper; add wine, broth and vinegar. Arrange chops in the pan, basting with the cabbage and juices. Reduce heat, cover and cook slowly for about 45 minutes, turning and basting once or twice, until chops are tender and cooked through. Arrange cabbage on hot serving plates, removing the garlic clove. Place a pork chop on each plate and top with the mustard-thyme butter. Note: The mustard butter can be omitted from this recipe if desired. The braised cabbage will provide plenty of moisture for the pork chops.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons crushed coriander seeds
2 small heads savoy cabbage, cored, leaves cleaned of ribs and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper, plus more for seasoning
2 knobs fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon dry ginger
1 small can whole, peeled tomatoes
1 poblano pepper, washed, cored and seeded, cut into thin slices
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
5 pork loin chops (bone-on), about 1 1/2 inches thick
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 green apples, washed, cored, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 to 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the cumin, caraway and coriander seeds toasting them slightly for 30 seconds. Do not let them turn dark brown.
  • Immediately add the cabbage. Toss to coat with the butter and spices. Season with salt, white pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste, for seasoning.
  • Add the fresh ginger, dry ginger, tomatoes, and poblano pepper and stir to blend. Taste for seasoning and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
  • Lower the heat and add the cilantro. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Remove from the heat and keep warm while cooking the pork chops. Note: I find the cabbage tastes even better the next day when all of the flavors have had time to meld together.
  • Heat a skillet large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer. Season each chop on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour oil in the skillet. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the pan from the heat and gently arrange the pork chops in a single layer. Immediately return the skillet to the heat and brown on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a pair of tongs or a spatula to turn the chops on their second side. Brown about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Turn the chops back to the first side and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Season them again, lightly, with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the cabbage, stir in the apple slices and add the red wine vinegar. Arrange cabbage on the bottom of a serving platter. Remove the pork chops and place them on top of the cabbage.
