Playing it by ear...and a recipe to share
Well, for the rest of this week it's just Katie and I so I'm not planning too many big meals. Tonight I'm making spaghetti squash and chicken, one night we'll probably have cheese ravioli, another night Hamburger Helper and at some point in the week we're going to go out to dinner and go to the movies.
Last night I cooked apple & sage pork chops with garlic & herb angel hair pasta and a tossed salad. That was the first time I cooked that dish and it was a hit! All three of us really enjoyed it!
Apple and Sage Pork Chops
1 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp paprika
1 TBS flour
1 tsp salt
4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
2 TBS olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
2 red apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup apple juice
1 TBS brown sugar
Mix flour, salt and all of the spices together in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of each pork chop with 1 TBS of the seasoned flour. Save left over flour blend.
Cook the pork chops in hot oil in large skillet on medium - high heat until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet. Add onions and cook until slightly softened (about 3 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add apples and continue to cook & stir for 2 minutes.
Stir in apple juice, brown sugar and the remaining flour mixture. Once well combined, return pork chops to skillet. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until chops are done, about 5 - 6 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
