Apple And Onion Smothered Pork Chops With Garam Masala Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix flour, sage, garlic, thyme, salt, allspice, and paprika together in a small bowl. Set aside 2/3 of the spice mixture for later use. Sprinkle remaining spice mixture onto the pork chops, coating all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove pork from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is longer pink in the center, and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

APPLE AND ONION SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS WITH GARAM MASALA

Steps:

• Rub garam masala evenly on both sides of each pork chop and allow to sit about fifteen minutes at room temperature.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat.
• When it is quite hot, add the pork chops.
• Allow them to sit undisturbed until browned on the bottom, then turn over.
• When brown on the second side (you will know this because the chops will no longer stick to the pan-they will move freely), add onions and apples to the pan, along with crushed juniper berries.
• Sprinkle apples and onions with salt.
• Cook, stirring now and then, until the onions and apples are golden brown.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, stirring. Allow the alcohol to boil off, then turn heat down to low, and cover the pan.
• Cook until sauce reduces to a reddish brown glaze, and the apples and onions cling to the chops.
