APPLE GORGONZOLA PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy bottom pan. Add garlic, shallots, onion if using. Saute until softened and fragrant. Add pork chops. Brown for 5-7 minutes per side. While they are browning, melt butter in second pan and saute chopped apple. If you like sweet apples, add brown sugar. When chops are browned, and cooked through, turn off heat, and allow to rest for 5 minutes in pan. When apples are softened, and starting to brown, remove from heat. Add gorgonzola and stir to melt in residual heat. Serve pork chops with apple gorgonzola sauce over the top.

GORGONZOLA AND APPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Butterfly each pork chop by slicing horizontally through the center with a sharp knife. Leave them attached on one side so they can be flipped open to create a butterfly shape.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops, reduce heat to medium and cook slowly for 5 to 7 minutes each side, or until they are done to your liking. Set aside.
• Melt butter or margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add apples and saute until tender, then turn off heat and add cheese to skillet. Mix together slowly to form a creamy thick sauce.
• Place reserved chops on serving plate and stuff each one with 1/4 of the apple/cheese mixture. Serve hot.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
• Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
• Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.
