Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
4 boneless pork chops, trimmed (4 to 5 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Gala apples, sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 shallots, thickly sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
20 frozen mini cheese-and-potato pierogi
Chopped fresh chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, season the pork chops on both sides with salt and the paprika. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, adjusting the heat as needed so the butter doesn't get too dark, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a plate.
  • Add the apples and shallots to the skillet. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Move the apples and shallots to one side of the skillet and add the tomato paste to the other side. Cook the tomato paste, stirring, until it darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, honey and thyme, then stir in 1 cup of the boiling water from the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a little more water, if needed.
  • Meanwhile, add the pierogi to the pot of boiling water and cook as the label directs. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet; nestle the pork chops in the mixture. Cut the remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the pierogi are coated in the sauce and the pork is just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Divide among plates. Top with chives.
