Smothered Pork Chops With Apples, Onions And Cabbage

• 4 double cut pork chops
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick wedges
• 2 cups thinly sliced onions
• 3 lbs savoy cabbage (1 head) or 3 lbs napa cabbage (1 head)
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup calvados
• 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly chopped marjoram

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with the Essence and kosher salt. Lightly dredge in the flour.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over high heat. Add the pork chops 2 at a time, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining pork chops and set aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the apples and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples and onions are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, Calvados, caraway seeds, bay leaves, salt, pepper and herbs. Cook uncovered until sauce comes to a boil. Add the pork chops, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pork chops are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
4. Serve the pork chops with the cabbage and pan juices.
