Pork Chops and Applesauce
4 medium pork loin chops about ½ inch thick
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. coarse ground pepper
3 Tbs. butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs. dried rosemary
1 heaping tablespoon light brown sugar
1 ½ cups apple cider
2 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
Wash, pat dry, salt and pepper pork chops. Heat oil on medium-low in
3½ qt. pressure pan; brown chops on both sides and drain on paper
towels. Pour off about half the oil. Add butter, shallots and garlic; cook
gently for about 1 minute. Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the
pan with a spatula. Add the next 3 ingredients. Place chops back in pan
and top with apple slices. Attach lid and bring to medium pressure (II).
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove pan from
heat and allow to rest 5 minutes before releasing steam. Remove lid,
plate chops and top with the applesauce.
