Pork With Apples & Toasted Walnuts Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1/2 cup: Walnuts, broken
4: Pork loin chops, each 1
Inch thick,
Salt and freshly ground,
Pepper,
1/3 cup: Apple juice,
2 tbsp: Brandy,
1 Clove: garlic, minced
3/4 tsp: Fresh thyme, finely
Chopped,
1/2 lbs: Tart green apples -- cored,
Sliced 1/4",
Directions:
1. In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, toast walnuts 2 to 3
minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside.
2. Season chops with salt and pepper to taste. Trim a piece of fat
from the edge of one chop. In the same skillet over medium-high heat,
heat fat until lightly browned, using a spoon to press and rub fat
over bottom of skillet to grease it well. Discard fat and increase
heat to high.
3. Add chops; brown quickly on both sides. Pour excess fat, if any,
from skillet.
4. Add apple juice, brandy, garlic, thyme, and apples to pan.
5. Cover pan and cook over medium-low heat 5 to 8 minutes. To test for
doneness, cut into a chop; it should be tender, juicy, and slightly
pink. If pork is done and apples are still crunchy, remove pork to a
platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue to cook apples
until they are tender.
6. Stir walnuts into sauce in pan. Pour walnut-apple sauce over chops.
Serve chops immediately.
