Ingredients
6 pork chops
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder , or to taste
1 head cabbage
Instructions
Gather the ingredients.
Season the pork with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the pork chops in the oil, turning to brown all sides. This is key since the cabbage will get its color and flavor from the caramelization of the pork. Work in batches if needed.
After the pork is sufficiently brown on all sides, core a head of green cabbage and cut it into 8 wedges.
Lower heat to medium-low to low. Add cabbage and a little more salt, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Continue simmering, stirring frequently, until the pork is falling apart and cabbage is brown and totally wilted.
Serve with bread and homemade applesauce .
