Ingredients

• 1-1/4 pounds thin-cut, boneless pork chops
• Salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
• 1 large head broccoli, stem removed, broken into florets
• 1 large apple, thinly sliced
• 3/4 cup apple cider
• Chopped fresh sage, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, cinnamon, coriander and nutmeg.
- Place the pork chops into the pan, and sear for 2 minutes on each side until browned.
- Transfer the pork chops to a dish, and set aside.
- Add the butter to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium.
- Once the butter has melted, add the onions, and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened.
- Add the apples and broccoli, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the cider, nestle the pork chops back into the skillet along with any accumulated juice from the dish, and cook until the pork is cooked through and the apple cider has reduced, about 5 more minutes.
- Garnish with fresh sage, and serve.
