Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3–4 thick pork chops
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups (300 g) onion, sliced
  • 2 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chicken stock
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) dry sherry
  • 1 cup (150 g) dried apricots, chopped
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Rub salt and pepper over pork chops. Heat avocado oil in large skillet. Brown pork chops over high heat (about 3 minutes per side).
  • Return skillet to stovetop and reduce heat to medium to melt butter. Add onion and cook until they begin to soften. Add ginger and cook until fragrant (a few minutes).

Method
 

  1. Remove from skillet and place in bottom of slow cooker.
  2. Pour in stock, vinegar, and sherry. Now add the apricots, nutmeg, sage leaves, and cinnamon stick.
  3. Bring this to a simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  4. While simmering, place chopped apple over the pork chops in crock pot.
  5. Pour the contents of skillet over chops and apples.
  6. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  7. When cooking is done remove contents from crock pot to serving plate. Careful, the meat will be very tender and may fall from bones. I recommend that you use a slotted spatula.
  8. Pour remaining liquid in sauce pan and reduce over medium heat.
  9. Pour over chops as a sauce.
