There are days when I crave "man food". You know...the type of meal filled with carbs and tons of protein. It's the meal that sticks and leaves you satisfied and bloated all at the same time. I threw together this last minute meal since I had all these ingredients at home.
Ingredients:
2 Pork Chops (your choice)
Salt/Pepper/Paprika
Simply season the chops on both sides and give each chop a quick sear in your sautee pan. A little olive oil on medium-high heat should do the trick; roughly a minute on each side. You want to create a nice crust on each chop. Cook time depends on chop thickness. Finish in the oven on 375 degrees for 6-10 minutes. During this time, you can cook your compote.
Apple Compote:
2 Apples (I used Gala Apples)
1/4 c Orange Juice
1/4 c Water
1/4 c Dark Brown Sugar (Brown is fine, too)
1 T Lemon Juice
1/2 T Rosemary (I used dried)
1/8 t Nutmeg (Dry is fine)
Salt to taste
In a saucepot on medium-high heat, add chopped apples and all ingredients (not including salt). Simmer over medium heat until the apples are tender and the juices are thickened to a thin syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Serve compote directly over chops with fresh mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
