It’s not uncommon for pork to be paired with apples and sauerkraut, but it’s usually done in dishes that take hours to cook. This version takes less than 20 minutes and couldn't be simpler to make.
Ingredients
Uncooked lean boneless pork chop
1 pound(s), 4 (4-oz) pieces
Table salt
½ tsp, divided
Black pepper
¼ tsp, freshly ground, divided
Safflower oil
2 tsp, divided
Apple
3 medium, Golden Delicious, peeled, cored, and cut into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices
Ground cinnamon
¼ tsp
Sauerkraut
1 cup(s), drained
Caraway seeds
½ tsp
Fresh parsley
1 Tbsp, optional
Instructions
1
Sprinkle the pork with 1⁄4 tsp salt and 1⁄8 tsp pepper. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2
Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in the skillet. Add the apples and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sauerkraut, caraway seeds, and the remaining 1⁄4 tsp salt and 1⁄8 tsp pepper. Cook until the sauerkraut begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the pork. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
