directions
- For the slaw.
- - Slice the cabbage, onion, and apples thinly (a food processor is great for this), put into a large plastic container with a lid.
- - In a small bowl, whisk the peanut oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard seeds, about 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper.
- - Pour the dressing over the slaw, put the lid on the container and shake to toss.
- For the chops.
- - Heat a heavy casserole over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp peanut oil and the chops.
- - Sear the chops quickly, lightly seasoning with the salt and pepper, about 2 minutes a side.
- - Lower the heat to very low, add the crushed red chili peppers, the lemon zest and juice, and braise for 30 minutes or until tender.
- For serving, you could keep the chops intact or slice them thinly and toss with the slaw. Discard the braising liquid.
