  • Apple, cored and thinly sliced2 medium
  • Onion, thinly sliced1 small
  • Sage, thinly sliced8 leaves
  • Apple cider vinegar2 tbsp
  • Chicken broth0.5 cup
  • Olive oil2 tbsp
  • Butter1.5 tbsp

Method

  1. 1

    Prep the produce

    Thinly slice the red cabbage and onion, core and thinly slice the apples, and thinly slice the sage leaves.

  2. 2

    Sear the pork

    Season pork chops with 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper; heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and turn chops once.

    7 min

    Tip: Pat chops dry before seasoning so they brown rather than steam.

  3. 3

    Soften the cabbage

    Move pork to a plate; add butter, cabbage, onion, apple, and sage to the skillet over medium heat, stirring often.

    9 min
  4. 4

    Braise and finish pork

    Pour chicken broth and apple cider vinegar into the skillet, return chops, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat, turning chops once.

    12 min

    Tip: Use a thermometer in the thickest chop; thin chops can finish early.

  5. 5

    Taste and serve

    Taste the cabbage and pan juices, adjusting salt and black pepper; serve the pork chops over the cabbage and apples.
