Roast Pork with Red Cabbage

Ingredients

• 4 whole pork chops
• 1 head red cabbage
• 1 whole orange
• 4 whole dried figs
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the 4 pork chops dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp olive oil and the shredded red cabbage. Cook over medium, stirring, until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, the juice of 1 orange, and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Nestle the pork chops into the cabbage. Slice the 4 figs and scatter over the top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the pork reaches 145°F, about 10-12 minutes.

6. 6

   Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with orange slices if desired.
