Curried Cider-Braised Pork Chops Recipe

Curried Cider-Braised Pork Chops Recipe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 thin boneless pork chops or 2 thick bone-in pork chops
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 large celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider
  1. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet and sauté until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer pork to plate. Add onions, celery and bay leaf to skillet. Sauté until onions are golden, about 6 minutes. Mix in curry powder. Add cider and boil until sauce is slightly reduced, about 6 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer just until cooked through, about 3 minutes for boneless chops and 5 minutes for bone-in chops. Season with salt and pepper.
