Well, it's tis the season...pumpkins, leaves changing colors and delicious apples. I never grew up as a super sweet&savory person, but I have definitely grown into an eater that loves the combo of sweet and savory.
I have pork chops in my fridge almost all of the time, but as with most proteins, I found myself making the same thing over and over again. Last night I took a little bit of guidance from the food world and made an apple and onion "relish" to top our pork chops and it was a huge hit! Matt loved it and quickly asked me to add it to the 'faves'. And to top it off, it was really easy!
Savory Apply & Onion Pork Chops
4 pork chops - I used bone it, but you could certainly use boneless
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Poultry Seasoning
2 apples - cut into 1/2 in. cubes (I used Honeycrisp but you can use any kind that can stand up to cooking)
1 onion - large dice
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. oil (canola or veggie, not Olive)
- Sprinkle pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder and poultry seasoning and set aside. Meanwhile heat a frying pan over med-high. Add butter and 1 Tbsp. of oil, then add onions. Let onions soften (about 3-5 minutes), then add apples. Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning to taste...I would say about 1/2 tsp. of poultry seasoning. Reduce to medium heat and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. IYou want the apples to be soft but not falling apart. Reduce to low until ready to serve.
- Heat another skillet to med-high. When pan is hot, add remaining oil. Add pork chops and cook over med-high heat for about 4 mins. per side. This assumes about 1 inch thick chops.
- When pork chops are done, top with apple & onion mixture.
