Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups green cabbage (shredded)
- 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them in flour.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Lower the heat to medium, then sauté the onions for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and potatoes, cooking for 6-8 minutes until the cabbage wilts and the potatoes begin to soften.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth, stir in the mustard and caraway seeds, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage and potato mixture. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty German Pork Skillet!
