Ingredients
- 4 6 oz. pork chops, about 1
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Applesauce is a traditional accompaniment to pork chops - but try this version which infuses apple
flavor into the meat.
Directions
- Heat oil in heavy 12" skillet.
- Lightly salt chops. Grind a generous amount of black
pepper over each chop. Press pepper into chop.
When oil is very hot but not smoking, add chops
and brown well on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chops from pan. Add cider, sage and
onion. Boil to reduce liquid by about half - about 5 minutes.
Return chops to pan, reduce
heat to maintain a simmer, and cover.
Cook until chops are desired doneness - make a small
cut to check. Center should be very pale pink. (If overcooked, chops will be tough and flavorless.)
