Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 head green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper, then set them aside.
In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the onion (sliced into thin strips) and garlic (minced). Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Core and thinly slice the cabbage, then add it to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Stir in the caraway seeds and brown sugar, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet, ensuring they are partially submerged in the cabbage mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and lower the heat to a simmer.
Cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender, and the cabbage has absorbed the flavors of the broth.
Taste the cabbage mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve the pork chops over a bed of braised cabbage with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
