When I had to make a dinner with Mennonite theme, I came up with this meaty main dish. Most often, I serve it with salad, soup and bread. The apple juice gives the pork a wonderful flavor, and the cabbage taste isn't too strong. My husband and I have two grown children. We raise corn and soybeans and feed out cattle here, plus we also grow specialty-cut fresh flowers. Ingredients:
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
salt and pepper to taste |
8 boneless pork loin chops (1/2-inch thick and 4 ounces each) |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
2 cups apple juice |
2 pounds small red potatoes |
1 pound or 1 jar (16 ounces) small whole onions, drained |
1 pound carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces |
6 to 8 cups shredded cabbage |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, place 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper; add pork chops. Seal bag; toss to coat. In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown chops in butter on both sides. Remove pork chops; set aside and keep warm.
2. Stir remaining flour into pan drippings until blended. Gradually whisk in apple juice. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Return chops to pan; add the potatoes, onions and carrots. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
4. Top with cabbage; cover and bake for 50-60 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and vegetables are tender, basting occasionally with juices. Yield: 8 servings.
