Ingredients
4 pork chops
1 onion, diced
1 apple, diced
1 glove garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Pre-heat your oven to 350º. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the pork chops. Pan sear each side of the pork chops for 2-3 minutes. When the meat releases from the pan naturally, it is time to flip the chops. Once they pork has been seared, add the onion, apple, and garlic. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until you reach your pork chops reach the desired level of doneness. (Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chop and your personal tastes.)
After the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for five minutes. While the pork chops are resting, put the frying pan back over medium high heat. Add the white wine to the pan and cook off the alcohol. Remove the contents of the frying pan into a blender or Vitamix. Blend until smooth and the mixture becomes emulsified.
Serve the pork chops over cooked spinach. Coat liberally with the sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and an apple slice.
