Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces granny smith apples
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine ground cinnamon, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of each chop.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Peel, core, and dice the granny smith apples. Finely chop the yellow onion.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the diced apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chutney for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture thickens.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the apple chutney. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish before serving.
Serve the spiced pork chops with apple chutney warm, alongside your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
