Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Salt
4 bone-in pork chops, 1-inch thick
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, yellow or red, thinly sliced
2 Gala or Golden Delicious apples, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 lemon
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup apple cider
2 cups chicken stock
2 rounded tablespoons orange marmalade

Directions

In a medium pot add sweet potatoes and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until fork tender, 15 to 18 minutes.

Season chops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork 5 minutes on the first side until deeply golden, turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes more with a loose foil tent over the pan. Remove cooked chops to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add another turn of the pan of olive oil, add the onions and apples. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Douse with juice of a lemon and remove onions and apples to a bowl; keep warm.

Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet, melt then whisk in flour, cook 1 minute then whisk in cider and 1 cup of stock. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Thicken 4 to 5 minutes over medium-low heat.

Drain cooked sweet potatoes and return pan to stove. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and combine with marmalade and 1 cup stock. Add potatoes and mash, season with salt and pepper.

Serve chop covered with apples and onions, gravy poured down over top, sweet potatoes alongside.

Love pork chops with applesauce and felt this was a sophisticated version of those flavors. Made it without the gravy and... honestly, it didn't need it. Took advice from previous reviews and used [1] Gala & [1] Golden Delicious apple and only [1] yellow onion. Fresh thyme was a very nice addition to this topping and/or side [depending how you plate it]. Instead of the mashed sweet potatoes, I roasted my sweet potatoes with onion and added fresh spinach at the end [heat from the potatoes wilts the greens]. I can only speak for the components I made and with that, it was great! Read more

Strange Gravy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Loved the pork chops,and potatoes. The gravy had a very odd taste, better off without it.
