    1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 2 pieces of pork chops
  • ½ a big quartered head of cabbage
  • 2 onions, sliced into 8 wedges
  • 2 tart apples, chopped and cored
  • 2 cups of water
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ tsp of salt
  • ½ tsp of black pepper
  • ½ cup of water
  • 2 tbsp of flour

Step 1

Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly. Take your time to cook the pork chops until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust on each side, which should take about 10 minutes per side for that perfect sear.

Step 2

Once the pork chops are nicely browned, it's time to add in a colorful mix of cabbage, onion, apple, garlic, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Pour in 2 cups of water to create a flavorful broth, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and let the ingredients mingle in the skillet. Bring everything to a gentle boil before lowering the heat to a cozy medium-low setting. Cover the skillet and let it all simmer away until the pork chops turn irresistibly tender, which should take around 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

When the pork and veggies are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the skillet, making sure to leave behind all those delicious juices. In a separate bowl, whisk together some water with a sprinkle of flour to create a smooth, thickening agent. Turn up the heat to medium-high under the skillet and pour in the flour mixture, stirring diligently as the gravy starts to thicken and bubble enticingly.

Step 4

Once the gravy reaches a luscious consistency, reduce the heat to low and let it gently simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld all the flavors together. Finally, generously drizzle this savory gravy over the succulent pork and vegetable medley, allowing all the delicious flavors to come together in a harmonious union.
