Cooking: 1 hour 30 minutes

Total: 1 hour 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 pork chops
1 small red cabbage, thinly sliced
2 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.
Add the sliced red cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften.
Stir in the red wine, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage mixture. Add the sliced pears on top.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork and cabbage simmer for about 1 hour, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender.
Serve the pork chops with the braised red cabbage and pears, drizzling some of the cooking liquid on top.
