ingredients
-
Chops
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 large garlic clove, minced (about 1 tsp)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 4 3⁄4 in thick pork loin chops with bone, about 8 ounces each
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
-
Slaw
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, cut in half and then into half-moons
- 1 large granny smith apple, coarsely shredded
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1⁄2 head green cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 9 cups)
- 3 large carrots, coarsely shredded (about 3 cups)
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup low sodium chicken broth
directions
- Chops: combine the sage, garlic, salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the chops and let them stand at room temperature for ten minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chops and brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Slaw: Wipe out the frying pan, add fresh oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the onion, apple and sage and cook, stirring a few times, until softened and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, vinegar and salt and continue cooking until the veggies start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the broth to the pan, then return the chops, burying them in the vegetables.
- Cover and cook just until the chops have a slight blush in the center - loin is lean and should not be overcooked - about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
- To serve: arrange the warm slaw on plates, and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
