Classic home cooking, updated: Pork Chops with Creamed cabbage (but no cream and lots of sage) and simple buttered, boiled potatoes. I like the cabbage right on top of the potatoes, the true, old-fashioned way. This should finish off the cabbage!
Pork Chops with Cabbage Time: 45 minutes
This is based on a recipe from the 'American Heritage' cook book I've for years. The cabbage has all the creamy goodness - without the cream. Use the apple juice if you have it - I buy the little 'juice boxes' for kids
2 - 4 pork chops, 12oz boneless (350gr)
1 onion
1 tbs olive oil
2 - 3 cups chopped cabbage
1/2 cup apple juice or chicken stock (if you use chicken stock replace milk with crème fraiche and use
less cornstarch)
1 tbs sage
1 tbs cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in
1/2 cup milk I use 2% (I think... it's called 'half' as opposed to 'whole')
Cut a slice off the cabbage, avoiding the core, and chop roughly. Chop onion. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté briefly - 2 minutes. Move to the side and brown pork chops on both sides, 6 - 8 minutes. Add cabbage, apple juice and sage, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove chops and increase heat. Stir in milk/cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Put cabbage on platter, top with chops and serve with buttered potatoes.
Buttered Potatoes Time: 25 - 30 minutes
2 -3 potatoes
1 tbs butter
salt & pepper
Scrub potatoes and cut into quarters. Put into a sauce pan and cover with water to which you add 1/4 tsp salt. Cover and bring to a boil. When boiling move cover so it is ajar else the potatoes will boil over. They will, I promise.. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or until done. Remove from heat when done (stick a knife in and test - should go in easily). Drain, add butter, salt & pepper if using, and serve.
