Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 1/2-inch-thick loin rib pork chops, about 2 3/4 pounds (see note)
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cooking apples such as Granny Smiths, about 1 pound
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon tomato paste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Cut each apple into quarters. Peel the quarters, and discard the core of each.
  • Dredge the chops in flour. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet, and add the chops. Cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the chops, and continue cooking about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the chops, and add the quartered apples. Cook about 2 minutes, turning the apples often. Remove the apples, and pour off the fat from the skillet.
  • Add the shallots and vinegar and cook briefly, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the broth and honey. Cook about 1 minute, and stir in the tomato paste.
  • Return the chops and apples to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, spoon the sauce over the chops, and cover closely. Cook 10 minutes. Transfer the chops and apples to a serving dish, and pour the sauce over.

The pork chops were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of pork next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that it was very good. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the apples added a nice touch.
