Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
Salt & pepper
4 thin boneless center-cut pork Loin chops, about 1 lb.
4 tsp. Canola oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup apple cider
2 T. Red wine vinegar
1 Fuji apple, peeled, halved, cored, and cut into 8 wedges
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 evaporated milk

Directions: |
Directions:In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, five-spice powder, paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Coat chops evenly on both sides with the spices mixture. Set the meat on a plate and let stand for 10 minutes.
In a large, deep frying pan, warm 2 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining 2 tsp oil to pan and return it to medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown on the second side, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to the plate holding the onion.
Place the pan over medium heat and pour in cider and vinegar. Stir to scrape up any browned bits on the pan bottom. Return the pork and onion to the pan. Arrange the apple wedges on top of the pork. Pour in the broth, cover, and simmer until the chops are opaque throughout, about 10 minutes, reducing the heat if the liquid begins to boil.
Transfer the chops, apple wedges, and onion to a platter. Pour the milk into the pan, raise the heat to high, and boil until the liquid is reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chops and serve. |
