Fall Food
16-Sep-2005
The Autumn weather is creeping in… the mornings and evenings are cool, fog drifts in over night and hangs around until late morning, the air is a bit (or sometimes a lot) damp. All of these things make we want to cook hearty meals. Sage always come to my mind in the fall. The earthy, heavier flavor feels like it will stick to your bones. And pork is one of my favorite meats to pair with sage.
Pork Chops with Sage, Onion and Apple
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Heat a light drizzling of oil in a sauté pan. When the pan is hot, add pork chops searing and browning on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). While chops are browning, peel and slice one medium yellow onion into rings. Place onion in baking dish that is large enough to hold all pork chops in a single layer. Core and slice one medium apple and then add to baking dish. Tear or chop several sage leaves and sprinkle over onions and apples. If desired, finely chop one dried cayenne or other hot pepper and sprinkle over the onions and apples. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When pork chops are browned place in baking dish on top of the onions, apples, sage and pepper. Place in oven and bake for about 45 minutes.
To serve, place a mound of Bonus Mashed Potatoes in center of plate. Place a pork chop on one side of the mound and add the cooked apples and onions alongside.
Pull up a place by the fire and enjoy!
