Stashcook

This is a yummy dinner with juicy pork chops and a fresh salad. The pork is cooked in a pan and the cabbage is cooked in the oven. The salad has apples, nuts, and cheese. It's a little sweet and a little tangy!

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops
1 small head green cabbage
1 large apple
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sliced almonds
5 oz baby spinach
1/2 medium red onion
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2
Wash and dry all fresh produce. Cut the green cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice into 1-inch thick wedges. Place on a baking sheet.
3
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the cabbage wedges.
4
Roast the cabbage in the oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and cabbage is tender.
5
While the cabbage is roasting, mix together 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this herb mixture onto both sides of the pork chops.
6
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook for 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
7
Thinly slice the red onion and apple. In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced onion, and apple.
8
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden, then add to the salad.
9
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.
10
In the same bowl used for the cabbage dressing, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil to create a simple dressing. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.
11
To serve, place a portion of the roasted cabbage on each plate, top with a herb-crusted pork chop, and serve the apple salad on the side.
