I love the simplicity of these Pork Chops with Balsamic Braised Cabbage. They are fast and easy and perfect for a busy weeknight meal.
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
3 Tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt
Pepper
1 onion, sliced
½ small (about 1 pound) head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Directions
1Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
3Meanwhile, wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
4Add the cabbage, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Fold in the parsley and serve with the pork chops.
