about 5 minutes.
  • Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Remove core and cut cabbage
    into thin wedges (or, if preferred, in shreds). Add to skillet, pushing apple and onion to the
    side so that the cabbage is in contact with the pan as much as possible. Cook 5 - 10 minutes,
    until some of the cabbage has browned.
  • Add wine (or water and vinegar), cover and simmer
    about 10 minutes. (This will give cabbage that has a slight crunch; if you prefer really soft
    cabbage, cook longer at this point.) Add salt to taste.
  • Remove cooked cabbage to another
    container and wipe out the skillet. Add oil and heat, medium-high, until hot. While pan heats, pat
    chops dry, salt and pepper lightly. Add to skillet and brown, 1 to 2 minutes each side.
  • Spoon
    cabbage over chops. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chops are done (no pink inside), about
    10 minutes. Time will vary, depending on the thickness of the chops.
  • Serve hot, with cabbage
    on or along side the chops.
