A wonderful change from the traditional pork chops and applesauce. Boneless pork chops are browned, and then baked in a coating of caramelized onions, apples, and curry powder. Savory and wonderful! Serve with rice and your favorite vegetable.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 4 (1 inch thick) boneless pork chops
- vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 large apple, cored and diced
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups apple juice
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 3 tablespoons ground curry powder, or to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown pork chops in a small amount of oil, flipping once to brown both sides. Arrange chops in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt margarine over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and apples in margarine until caramelized. Stir in applesauce, apple juice, chicken bouillon, garlic, and curry powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over chops, and cover dish with foil.
Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through.
