"A fresh take on a classic combination - pork, apples and cabbage. A bag of coleslaw mix can be used instead of the cabbage and carrot - a time-saver. By chef Ellie Krieger for USA Weekend magazine."

ingredients

Chops
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage
1 large garlic clove, minced (about 1 tsp)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 ³⁄₄ in thick pork loin chops with bone, about 8 ounces each
2 teaspoons olive oil
Slaw
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut in half and then into half-moons
1 large granny smith apple, coarsely shredded
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
¹⁄₂ head green cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 9 cups)
3 large carrots, coarsely shredded (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
³⁄₄ cup low sodium chicken broth

directions

Chops: combine the sage, garlic, salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the chops and let them stand at room temperature for ten minutes.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chops and brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Slaw: Wipe out the frying pan, add fresh oil and heat over medium heat.
Add the onion, apple and sage and cook, stirring a few times, until softened and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the cabbage, carrot, vinegar and salt and continue cooking until the veggies start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the broth to the pan, then return the chops, burying them in the vegetables.
Cover and cook just until the chops have a slight blush in the center - loin is lean and should not be overcooked - about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
To serve: arrange the warm slaw on plates, and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

This is a healthy meal that wasn't too heavy. I enjoyed the addition of the fresh sage. My onion was really strong; but no worries cause I couldn't even tell after it was cooked.

All I had was center cut chops but the recipe still came out great. Very tasty and tender. Loved the slaw and will make it again for sure. I served it with Recipe #348172. What a great combo fir a cold night.

Very good and easy! My pork chops were bigger than the ones suggested so mine took a lot longer to cook. Thanks for sharing!

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
