Spice Rubbed Pork With Apple Chutney
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless pork chops 3- 4 chops, depending on thickness
- 2 tablespoons rub spice, any brand or your own
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 apple large, about 1.5- 2 cups chopped . I used a Golden Delicious but any vari
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch cloves
- salt
- pepper
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat.
- Rub the spice mixture into the pork chops.
- When the pan is very hot, oil should be shimmering, place the chops in the pan and don't move them.
- Let them caramelize on the first side for about 5 minutes then flip and sear the other side.
- Turn the heat down to medium low, cover the chops loosely with tinfoil and cook for another 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Cook until the pork chops reach about 140F or until light pink in the center.
- While the chops are cooking, peel, core and dice the apples.
- Heat the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat.
- When the butter has melted, add the apples, stirring to coat.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour in about 2 tbsp of water; saute until the apples begin to break down and the water thickens into a sauce, about 8-10 minutes, depending on the crispness of the apple.
- The chutney will be slightly sweet but not as sweet as a dessert.
