- Reviews 2
Ready In: 1 hr 50 mins
Serves: 2
Yields: 2 pork chops
Ingredients
- 8 ounces center-cut pork chops
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 small Red Delicious apple
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon meat tenderizer, no MSG, unseasoned
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground celery seed
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 large garlic clove, sliced very thin
Directions
- Wrap your center cut pork chops with bacon and fix into place. Line a loaf pan with aluminum foil and grease the bottom with a tiny bit of oil or cooking spray. Place your chops into the center of the pan, neither touching the sides, nor one another.
- Directly onto each chop, deposit 1/4 teaspoon no MSG unseasoned meat tenderizer, flip chop and repeat. Both sides are now tenderized and oiled. Add thyme, salt, pepper, sage, ground celery seed, and garlic.
- Using a medium grater, grate small onion equally right onto each chop, repeat with small apple. Split white wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce evenly, pouring over onion and apple.
- Cover and let marinade in refrigerator overnight if possible. 4 hours should do the trick, if you don't have the time.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. When done, the apple and onion should still be on top of the pork chop. Leave them as garnish and remove to serving plate. Serve hot over a bed of pork dressing. Enjoy!
