My husband made these delicious chops for me when I was expecting our first child. He found the recipe in a cookbook full of healthy recipes, writes Sarah Susanka, Ventura, California. The braising liquid keeps the pork tender and juicy. And the blend of apple cider, sage and vinegar gives it a subtle sweet-and-sour taste. Ingredients:
2 bone-in pork loin chop (7 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
1 teaspoon canola oil |
3/4 cup thinly sliced onion |
1 celery rib, thinly chopped |
1/2 cup apple cider or unsweetened apple juice |
2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage or 1 teaspoon rubbed sage |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, cook meat in oil for about 3 minutes on each side or until browned; drain. Remove meat; keep warm.
2. In same skillet, cook onion and celery for about 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in the apple cider, vinegar and sage. Return meat to skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until meat is tender. Yield: 2 servings.
