Pork And Cabbage With Wild Rice And Spiced Apple Recipes

DIJON PORK WITH APPLES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Spray a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Toss together cabbage and apples with 3 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on prepared sheet pan and arrange in an even layer.
• Pat pork dry and season with remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons oil with mustard, vinegar, honey, and thyme in a small bowl. Spread over all sides of pork and set pork on top of cabbage and apples.
• Roast on center rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of thickest part of each tenderloin registers 130 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and turn oven to broil. When broiler is hot, put pan on top rack and broil until pork has a golden-brown crust, thermometer registers 145 degrees F, and cabbage and apples have a light char, about 5 minutes. Cover pan loosely with foil and let pork rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve pork warm with cabbage and apples, sprinkled with parsley (if using).

SPICED PORK AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the rice, raisins and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, tomatoes and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon curry powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer, leaving some room in the middle for the pork.
• Rub the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Add the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage, transfer to the oven and roast until the cabbage is tender and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 2 minutes, then slice. Serve with the vegetables and rice. Season with pepper.

SIMPLE PORK AND CABBAGE SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops in the hot oil until well-browned on each side, about 10 minutes per side.
• Add the cabbage, onion, apple, 2 cups of water, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and place a cover on the skillet. Cook at a simmer until the pork chops are completely tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove the pork and vegetable mixture from the skillet, leaving as much of the liquid in the skillet as possible. Whisk the water and flour together in a small bowl. Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Pour the flour mixture into the remaining liquid in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer an additional 5 minutes. Pour the gravy over the pork and vegetable mixture.

PORK CHOPS WITH SPICY APPLES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Combine the chopped onion, ginger, Sriracha, rice vinegar, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water in a blender; puree and set aside.
• Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until lightly browned and cooked through (do not turn), about 7 minutes. Tent with foil and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, sliced onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the onion-ginger puree and cook until the cabbage is well coated and tender, about 2 minutes. Add the apple and watercress and toss to coat. Season with pepper.
• Divide the pork among plates; drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Serve with the cabbage-apple mixture and sour cream.

PORK CHOP WITH SAUTEED APPLES AND WILD RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-low. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Add rice and 3/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium-low. Season pork with salt and pepper, and dust with flour.
• Place pork in skillet, and arrange apple wedges in a single layer around it. Cook until pork and apples are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, and turn over. Cook until pork is opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve pork with apples and wild rice.
