A random act of food porn

So, I wasn't doing anything in particular the other night except fixing dinner, so I decided it was a good night for some food porn. Hell, it's always a good night for some food porn. In any event, I decided to fix some pork chops with roasted apples and onions. I think you'll like it.

You start with 1 tbsp of canola oil, 1-1/2 cups of pearl onions, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 cups of sliced gala apples, 4-6 pork chops, bone-in or out, I don't care, but about a half-inch thick, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 2 cups cooked rice, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 tsp flour, 1 tsp cider vinegar, 1 tbsp butter, divided and 2 tsps thyme:

To start, heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large oven-proof skillet on medium high, add half the canola and swirl to coat. Slice those apples, like so:

Once that pan is hot, toss those onions in and cook until lightly browned, stirring once. 

Add the sliced apples, put the pan in the oven for 10 minutes or until onions, apples are tender.

 Meanwhile, stir up 2 tsps butter, thyme, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper.

 Stir that into the apples and onions, and set aside.

Heat a separate skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle port with remaining salt, pepper.

Add remaining oil to pan, swirl to coat. Add pork to pan.

Cook 3 mins each side or until desired doneness.

Remove pork from pan, keep warm. Combine broth and flour in a bowl, whisk together. 

Add mixture to the pan the pork was cooked in, bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Cook 1 min or until reduced approximately in half.

 Stir in vinegar and remaining butter. Serve pork with sauce and apple mixture:

It's pretty fucking good.
