Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

sorry...
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love so many of Ellie's recipies (warm spinach salad, shrimp with feta and tomatoes, chinese chicken salad) but this one is... a stinker. My Husband thought the sage was overpowering. We both love cabbage but the slaw was not good, we tossed it out.Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this and my husband and I loved it. I made a few changes: I used a pork loin and sliced it in 3/4" slices so I had... medallions (2-3 per person); I did not have any fresh sage so I used ground sage and it came out great; I also forgot to add the chicken broth and just added the vinegar and it came out fine. When I warmed it up the next day, I added just 1/4 cup of broth, and it was just as tasty. If I make it next time I will decrease the carrots and add another granny smith apple. All in all, though, I really liked this recipe and will make it again. Read more

A Keeper
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this spur of the moment and had all the ingredients on hand. It would be much easier and quicker to buy a ready-made... slaw mix, but the food processor quickly shredded everything although the pieces were too small for my liking. I thought the cooking time sounded a little short for pork, but my husband was late so the chops ended up simmering in the slaw mixture in a covered pan for 20 minutes so no worries. It turned out tender and flavorful. My husband has requested that this recipe make a repeat performance. Read more

Delicious and nutritious

And simple to make also. Especially if you use pre-cut cole slaw mix. This recipe is being saved to the recipe box for... repeat performance someday. Read more

Great balance of flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a great idea to use apples as a sweetner!! My husband is a very traditional pork chop lover but we both loved this... recipe! The sage smelled SO good while the chops were cooking. My husband even used the extra slaw on hot dogs, so at least it added some veggies to his day : )Read more
