2 pork chops, cut about 3/4-inch thick (bone-in or boneless)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons flour mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper
1 medium onion sliced very thin
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and sliced
2 cups red cabbage shredded or sliced thin
1/2 cup apple juice or apple wine
1/2 cup beef or chicken broth (warm)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Recipe
1. Marinate the chops in the refrigerator in the apple wine or juice for at least 2 hours.
2. Mix the cabbage, apple and onions together in a bowl. Remove the chops and shake excess liquid from them; combine the liquid with the broth. Dredge the chops in the flour mix.
3. Put the oil in heavy skillet. Brown the chops in the oil over medium high heat 3 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to medium and cover the chops with the cabbage, onion, and apple mix. Cover the skillet tightly and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning the chops once.
4. Put the liquid (marinate/broth mixture) into the skillet and reduce the heat to simmer. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes turning the chops once. Remove the chops and place them on a warming platter.
5. Remove the cabbage/onion/apple mix and put it in a serving bowl. Thicken the liquid in the skillet with the cornstarch for gravy.
