Wow, I loved the combination of this dish, because of it’s sweet and tender texture, I even had to make more because the kids wanted seconds.
Not only was it a very kid friendly dinner, but it even has such an elegant and restaurant appeal to it. So the next time you have guest over, surprise them with some beautiful looking pork chops. It only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp. Rubbed Sage
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. Thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. ground Allspice
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
4 pork chops (the thick ones work best)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 red apples, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple juice or fruit punch
1 tbsp. brown sugar
Preparation:
Cut your onions and apples
Combine your sugar and juice
Combine ALL your spices, salt, and flour
Olive oil on Medium High Heat (to crisp the outside of the meat fast and still have a tender meat in the inside.)
Season the meat thoroughly (if you end up not having enough spice mix for the entire pieces, it’s ok, the juices will still give it a nice taste at the end.)
Brown meat both side
Once ALL the meat has browned, set aside
Add Onions to brown and caramelize with the residue that was left by the meat. (DO NOT CLEAN PAN)
Once onions are see through, add apples
Let apples sauté for a bit
Combine juice and brown sugar. Simmer for about 2 min
Add meats back again (Don’t cover yet!!)
If you want a nice creamy texture, get 1/2 cup of juice and 1 tbsp. of flour (mix) and add it now.
Cover and let it simmer for about 5 min or until you feel like eating.
Tadadaaa!! It is deeeee-lish!!
Happy eating!
