Recipe: Sweet Pork With Apples and Prunes (Slow Cooker)
Description: I haven't tried this yet. But it caught my eye because I often find forequarter chops on special and could use some new ideas on cooking them.
It comes from my Sunbeam Slow Cooker Recipe Booklet.
Ingredients: [{"text": "2 tablespoons olive oil"}, {"text": "2 kg forequarter pork chops, trimmed of fat"}, {"text": "3 medium red onions, cut into thick wedges"}, {"text": "4 medium green apples, cored and cut into quarters"}, {"text": "1 cup chicken stock"}, {"text": "250 g seedless prunes"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh sage"}, {"text": "salt"}, {"text": "fresh ground pepper"}]
Instructions: Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a large fry pan over medium heat, cook chops for 1 minute each side or until lightly brown. Transfer to a plate.
Heat remaining oil in fry pan, add onions and cook 2-3 minutes or until they have softened. Add apples and toss in pan, stirring frequently, until apple begins to color. Place in bottom of slow cooker. Add stock, prunes, 1 Tb of fresh sage and the browned pork.
