Servings: 4

Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons bacon fat, butter or extra virgin olive oil

1 large onion, sliced 1/4-inch, about 2 cups

1/2 head of cabbage, sliced 1/4-inch wide slices

Salt

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1 teaspoon caraway seed

1/2 cup stock (chicken, beef, or vegetable) or water

1 tablespoon mustard, preferably Dijon

1 tablespoon malt or cider vinegar

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon bacon fat or extra virgin olive oil

4 pork chops

Equipment:

frying pan

paper towels

Cooking instruction summary:

the onions and cabbage: Heat the bacon fat (or butter or olive oil) in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring only occasionally, until the edges of the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle salt over the onions as they cook. Add the sliced cabbage and toss to combine. Cook for a minute or two, then add the celery seed, caraway, and stock. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered for 10 minutes. Stir in mustard and vinegar: After 10 minutes, remove from heat, but leave the cover on the pan. Wait another 5 minutes, then uncover the pan and mix in the mustard and vinegar. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the pork chops in a separate pan: As soon as you cover the cabbage pan in step 1, heat a tablespoon of bacon fat or oil in a cast iron frying pan on medium high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them with salt and lay them in the pan, working in batches if necessary as to not crowd the pan. Tip: Place the chops in the pan so that the thickest, boniest parts are near the center of the pan where they get the most heat. As soon as the chops are nicely browned on one side, about 2 minutes or so, flip them and sear them on the other side. If your pork chops are less than 3/4-inch thick, and you are using a cast iron pan, once the chops are seared on the second side, remove the pan from heat and let the chops sit in the hot pan until cooked through (you can use the finger test to check for the doneness of the meat). If you are not using a cast iron pan, just remove the pan from heat and cover the pan for a few minutes until the chops are done. If your chops are thicker than 3/4-inch, and you are using a cast iron pan, remove the pan from heat and cover it, letting the chops finish cooking for about 5 minutes. If not using a cast iron pan, keep the chops covered on low heat for another 5 minutes after searing. Let chops rest, serve with cabbage: Remove the chops from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside the cabbage.
