Pork Chops with Warm Cabbage Slaw Recipe

This colorful slaw is a fresher and faster version of the classic German long-cooked red cabbage. We serve it with pork, but it also makes a nice cool-weather side with simply cooked chicken or steak.

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

4 bone-in pork chops (7 oz. each)

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1 teaspoon pepper, divided

2 tablespoons butter

4 cups sliced red cabbage

1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/2 cup sliced red onion

1 green apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

2 carrots, shredded

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

Step 1

Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season pork chops with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until browned but still slightly pink in center, 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest.

Step 2

Melt butter in the same pan. Cook cabbage, bell pepper, onion, apple, and carrots until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Serve with pork chops.
