Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 cups green cabbage (shredded)
• 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them in flour.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Lower the heat to medium, then sauté the onions for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and potatoes, cooking for 6-8 minutes until the cabbage wilts and the potatoes begin to soften.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, stir in the mustard and caraway seeds, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage and potato mixture. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your hearty German Pork Skillet!
