Preparation

Step 1

Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the pork chops and cook, turning once, until golden, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Add the cabbage to the pan and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Increase the heat to high, pour the cider and vinegar over the cabbage, and boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme.

Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices to the pan and spoon the glaze over them. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the pork is tender and barely pink inside, about 5 minutes.

Arrange the cabbage and pork chops on a platter, top with the glaze and serve immediately.
