• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 (1 inch) boneless pork loin chops (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
• salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1⁄2 butternut squash, peeled seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Working in 2 batches, add the pork chops and 1 more tablespoon olive oil between batches. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and tent with foil; place in the oven.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
4. Stir in the apple juice, squash, raisins and sage; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the squash mixture to a bowl.
5. Cook the remaining liquid until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Serve the pork with the squash and pan sauce.
