Pork Chops & Apples

Ingredients

·         5 pork chops

·         2 green apples

·         2 cups Butternut squash

·         10 units of dried apricots

·         1 can of navy beans

·         1 white onion

·         3 garlic cloves

·         2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

·         3 cups chicken stock

·         Fresh herbs: thyme, sage, bay leaf, parsley

Recipe Preparation

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees, while prepping the pork chops.

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a dutch oven (if you don’t have one, use a regular pot) and sear both sides of the pork chops until well brown, and put them aside. In the empty oven add: chopped garlic, chopped onion, diced butternut squash, apples sliced in quarts, and herbs; cook for 3 minutes, and then add the chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, and the pork chops. Transfer to an oven at 350 degrees, and cook for 45 minutes.

Once the pork chops are ready, add navy beans and chopped parsley.
