Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup olive oil
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick wedges
2 cups thinly sliced onions
3 pounds savoy or napa cabbage (1 head)
1 cup chicken stock
4 double cut pork chops
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Calvados
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 teaspoon freshly chopped marjoram
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the pork chops with the Essence and kosher salt. Lightly dredge in the flour.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over high heat. Add the pork chops 2 at a time, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining pork chops and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the apples and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples and onions are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, Calvados, caraway seeds, bay leaves, salt, pepper and herbs. Cook uncovered until sauce comes to a boil. Add the pork chops, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pork chops are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Serve the pork chops with the cabbage and pan juices.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

This recipe is not worth your time. There are much better pork chop recipes out there.

This was a complete disaster. The pork chops were overcooked and tough, and the sauce was watery and flavorless.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs to the sauce and it turned out much better.

These pork chops were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

Excellent recipe! The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

These smothered pork chops were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful. The apples, onions, and cabbage added a delicious sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this dish again!
