Pork Chops with Apple Sauce
Pork is a heavy product, so it is best served with something light. For example, with apple sauce - both tasty and healthy.
Ingredients
Servings 6- 6 pork chops on the bone
- 3 large green apples
- 50 g raisins
- juice of half a lemon
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 100 ml semi-sweet white wine
- 2 tbsp. l. butter
- 0.5 tsp ground paprika
- salt, freshly ground black pepper
Cooking
Step 1
For the sauce, pour boiling water over the raisins, dry them, pour over white wine and leave for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Peel and cut the apples into medium cubes, sprinkle with lemon juice so that the flesh does not darken. Finely chop the cilantro.
Step 3
Crush the garlic, peel and mince. Sauté garlic in butter for 30 seconds. Put the apples, fry over high heat, stirring, 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add raisins along with liquid and all other ingredients (except pork), cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Apples should not completely lose their shape. Cool the sauce and refrigerate.
Step 5
Trim excess fat from pork chops, leaving a little. Rub the chops with salt and pepper. Put the cut fat into a grill pan and place over medium heat - while the pan heats up, a little fat will melt. Remove the fat from the pan and place the chops in it.
Step 6
After a couple of minutes, cover the chops with a piece of foil so that the fat does not splatter (but not too tight). Fry the chops until golden brown on both sides, turning over a couple of times. Don't overdry! Serve chops with sauce.
