Viewed: 44 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pork chops, cut of your choice
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons small white or yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 small, firm, tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 small, firm, sweet apple, such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/16 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 piece of star anise
- 2 thin slices of peeled, fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Method
- Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Depending on the thickness of your chops, cook them on both sides until they are cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-thick chops. Remove them from the pan and set them aside to rest.
- In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the onion and saute until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the apples, spices, ginger, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper, and continue to saute until the apples begin to soften but still have a little bite, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and toss lightly.
- Remove the star anise and ginger slices. Serve the sauteed apples on top of the pork chops.
