Sage Rubbed Pork Chops with Warm Apple Slaw
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
- 1 large clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (3/4-inch) bone-in pork loin chops (about 8 ounces each)
- 1 large onion
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, cut in 1/2, cored
- 1/2 head green cabbage, cored
- 3 large carrots
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Combine the 3 teaspoons of the fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper.
- Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let the chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion, apple and cabbage and julienne the carrots (very thin sticks).
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan until hot but not smoking.
- Add the chops and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Remove.
- Carefully wipe out the pan.
- Heat the remaining teaspoon oil over moderate heat and add the onion, apples and remaining teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, carrots, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and return the pork chops to the pan burying them in the vegetable mixture.
- Cover and cook just until the pork chops are just slightly blush in the center, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
- To serve, arrange the warm slaw on individual plates and top with a pork chop and pan juices.
