Red Cabbage With Pork and New Potatoes

Submitted by PaulaG

"This is a quick to put together meal and requires minimal attention while cooking. The original recipe calls for cooking the oven but I think it would work equally well in the crock pot on low for about 4 hours. Serve with a hearty rye bread for a delicious meal."

• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

This was pure comfort food for me. I loved the potatoes, red cabbage and Granny Smith apple combination. Yummy! I only cooked mine for 60 minutes because I was afraid of the pork getting too well done, and it worked out well. Thank you! Made for the Soup-A-Stars during ZWT9

I made this for myself and only enough for two servings and it was pure comfort food. Enjoyed the apples along with the cabbage, used a red onion, and only one tablespoon of brown sugar since I like more tart. Paula I will so make this again! Made and reviewed for the 2014 Culinary Quest - Family PIcks.

This was an easy to put together meal, but we weren't crazy about one of the flavors. Unsure what it was, but perhaps the wine? Will do as another reviewer said and use apple juice instead the next time (and will update review if we like it better!). The chops came out incredibly juicy and the dish makes for a nice presentation. Thanks for posting, Paula! Made for team Gourmet Goddesses, ZWT9.

YUM! The flavours are fantastic in this "old country" dish. The cabbage haters in the house loved the cabbage and the apple juice that I used instead of white wine added a pleasant sweetness to the whole thing. I made the dish exactly as listed but the pork was quite tough. I think that I would put the pork in the bottom next time, to keep it moist. Or cook the veggies for the first 45 minutes and then add the pork chops for the second 45 minutes? Made for the Tasty Testers for ZWT9. Thanks PaulaG! :)
