Savory pork is combined with apples and onions, and then kissed with a hint of apple cider vinegar to create a bright and multi-layered sauce.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 bone-in center-cut pork chops

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 sprigs fresh thyme

2 teaspoons arrowroot powder

1 tablespoon cold water

1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 large Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon ghee

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

Season pork with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Place pork in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Repeat until pork is cooked to 145-150 degrees with a meat thermometer, approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove pork from the pan, and tent loosely with foil.

Add chicken broth, apple cider vinegar and thyme to the pan, and stir well to remove any browned bits. Bring to a light simmer.

Whisk together the arrowroot powder and cold water.

Pour into the pan, and stir well. Bring to a light simmer.

Stir in the onion and apple, reduce heat to medium low, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.

Add in the ghee, and stir well.

Place pork back in the pan, and cook until warmed through.

Serve pork with the pan sauce.
