Garlic Pork Chops with Sauteed Cabbage & Fresh Greens

Ingredients

4 thick cut, boneless pork chops
Drizzle of olive oil
Sprinkle of salt, pepper & garlic granules
1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
Splash of soy sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
½ tsp garlic granules
¼ c apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
2 cups salad greens
½ c cherry tomatoes, halved
Olive oil and apple cider vinegar to dress the greens

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Place the pork chops in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic granules, then us your hands to massage the oil and seasoning into the chops. Place the chops in a heavy skillet over medium heat and cook until golden on both sides and an internal temperature of 145° has been reached (15 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of the chops).

Step 2

Once the chops are on the go start the cabbage. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they begin to brown, then add the cabbage and sauté further until the cabbage begins to soften. Add the soy sauce, pepper, garlic granules, vinegar and honey and mix well. Once the cabbage has cooked to your liking (some like it cooked through, some like a bit of a crunch – you choose!), give it a taste and correct the seasoning. The flavor should be slightly sweet, slightly tart, and a bit salty. You may need to add a titch of salt, depending on how large or small your splash of soy sauce was.

Step 3

Once the chops and cabbage are done share the salad greens over 4 plates and drizzle with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Serve the cabbage alongside the greens, then add a chop to each plate then sit down and enjoy the delightful flavors of the quick and simple dinner you have prepared!
