Steps:
- Make the brine: Combine the water, bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, and salt in a medium pot over medium heat and stir until the salt is dissolved.
- Remove the brine from heat and stir in the ice cubes.
- Once the brine is cooled, add the pork chops to a glass dish and pour the brine over. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-10 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a large cast iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork chops and sear without disturbing until caramelized and browned on the first side, about 2 minutes, then flip and sear on the other side. Remove the pork chops from the pan and set aside.
- Add the shallots to the pan and cook until they begin to soften and caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
- Add the turnips and season with salt, then spread in an even layer and let caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the mustard and sage. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in the apple cider and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 7 minutes.
- Add the collard greens and stir to incorporate. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, making sure that they are partly submerged.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for about 12 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 135˚F (57˚C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes as the internal temperature continues to climb to 145˚F (63˚C).
- Divide the pork chops, vegetables, and sauce between plates and serve.

[email protected]This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.
