BREADED PORK CHOP SERVED ON BRAISED CREAMY CABBAGE

A very comforting meal to have on one of the chilly days. The braised cabbage is so yummy. I have added a bit of cream to it but if you are to health conscious you can always omit it. The braised cabbage can also be used a side dish with any other main also. One can also use chicken instead of pork. I have used my homemade seasoned breadcrumbs for this recipe.

Serves 2

Time:40 minutes

For the pork chops

2 pork chops about 1 inch thick

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Salt and pepper

1 egg beaten with 1 tsp of mustard sauce

2 tbs plain flour for dusting

1 tbs butter

2 tbs oil

For the braised cabbage

4 cups shredded cabbage

1 small white onion

1 garlic clove minced

1/2 cup vegetable/chicken stock

1 tbs butter

1/4 cup cream

Salt and pepper

1 tbs chopped parsley

Method

First, start with the cabbage by heating the butter in the pan and saute the onions and the garlic for a minute just to coat them in butter. 

Then add the shredded cabbage and stir well till each leaf is coated with the butter. keep on stirring for few minutes. 

Now add the stalk and the seasoning, stir and cover. When most of the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is cooked and has a crunch to it mix in the cream. Cook for another 5 minutes and keep it on very low heat till the pork chops are ready to serve.

For the pork chops, bread them as normally done. dust the plain flour first then in the egg wash and then the breadcrumb coating. Once done, heat the oil and butter in a pan and shallow fry till golden in colour on both the sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Remove and serve hot on the bed of the braised cabbage, garnished with chopped parsley.
