Pork Chops With Braised Cabbage and Balsamic Sherry Sauce

"This is a Wolfgang Puck recipe that was printed in the latest Chicago Tribune Good Eating section. I haven't tried it yet and am posting so I can get this into my 'Pork Recipes' cookbook and throw this paper away. Sounds great and I can't wait to try it."

directions

  • Season both sides of the chops with a 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper to taste; melt half of the butter and the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; add the chops and cook until slightly pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the chops to a heated platter; discard the excess fat from the pan and add 1/2 cup of the vinegar and the sherry, stirring and scraping the pan to deglaze; add the chicken broth and heat to a boil over medium heat; cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 10 minutes; remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp in a separate skillet over medium heat; discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat; add the remaining vinegar, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan; add the cabbage and increase the heat to high; cook, stirring, until heated through and wilted, about 5 minutes; season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and more pepper to taste.
  • Return the pan of sauce to medium heat; whisk in the mustard and the remaining butter; divide the cabbage/bacon mixture among 4 serving plates and place a pork chop on each bed of cabbage; spoon the sauce around and over each chop.
  • Garnish with chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with the chives.

  1. This was a very tasty dish, although somewhat time intensive. Since I cook only for myself and husband, often have 1/2 of cabbage head left-this was a great way to use it!
     
  2. Don't wait any longer to try this! It is not only beautiful to look at but delightful to eat! Truly a company-worthy dish but easy enough to put together after work. The presentation alone will impress your guests! I followed recipe exactly except used 2 pork chops. Hubby and I ate it all so you may want to double the cabbage bed or accompany this with a side dish if you are serving 4. Delicious!
