Pork Chops with Apple Cider Sauce

Prep:  17 min/Cook:  25 min/Serves: 4
Ingredient List

 1 pound uncooked red potatoes

3/4 pound uncooked cabbage, cut into wedges   

2 tsp canola oil   

1 pound lean boneless pork chop, four chops   

2 1/2 Tbsp dill

3/4 tsp table salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

 1 medium fresh apple, cut into 12 wedges   

1 1/4 cup chicken broth   

1/2 cup apple cider   

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour   

 1/4 cup uncooked scallion, sliced   

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard   

Instructions

Fill a large, deep skillet with a small amount of water; set a steamer basket on top and bring to a boil. Steam potatoes until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add cabbage wedges and steam until potatoes and cabbage are both tender, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Drain and remove potatoes and cabbage to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
Drain and carefully dry skillet. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with 1 tablespoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently press to adhere seasonings to pork.
Add pork to skillet and cook, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes; remove to serving platter.
Add apples to skillet; sauté 1 minute. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together broth, cider, flour and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add broth mixture to skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in scallions; simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and apples are tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in mustard and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons dill.
 Lift apples with a slotted spoon onto platter; spoon sauce over top and garnish with remaining chopped dill or dill sprigs.
