So easy. SO tasty. I mean, seriously, we just had this for dinner and my husband cleaned his plate. Every last, little bit of sauce down the hatch. Best compliment ever. Apples and onions with pork - you just can't go wrong!
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless pork chops
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 apple, chopped
Salt and pepper to season chops
1 green onion, finely chopped
Oil to coat skillet (coconut is my favorite, but if you use olive oil, just make sure the heat doesn't get too high)
For Sauce
2 cups beef stock (low sodium)
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons full-fat canned coconut milk
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon coriander
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Oil skillet and heat to medium/low
2. Toss in apples and sliced onion - sauté until they just begin to get tender (about 8 minutes)
3. Oil and heat a separate skillet to med/high
4. While you're waiting a minute to two for it to heat up, pat chops dry and rub with salt and pepper
5. Place chops in skillet and cook on each side for 4-6 minutes, depending on thickness (chops are done when insides are thoroughly white, no longer pink, internal temp of 145F)
6. In a mixing bowl, dissolve arrowroot powder in beef stock and then stir in rest of sauce ingredients
7. After apples and onions have begun to get nice and tender (around 8 minute mark), pour sauce in and simmer until it reaches your desired thickness (around 5 minutes for me)
8. When chops are done, top with sauce and garnish with chopped green onions
