Apple Braised Pork Chops

Prep Time:	15 min
Cooking Time:	60 min
Servings:	6 people

Ingredients:

4 six-ounce boneless pork chops
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 small head green cabbage (about 1lb), core removed and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon thyme
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 large yam
Pinch Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat coconut oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; place them in the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Reduce the heat to low. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add apple, caraway seeds and thyme and saute for 5 minutes. Add cabbage and cook for 5 additional minutes.
3. Raise heat to medium high. Add vinegar, 1-1/2 cups water and yam. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
4. Cook until yam is tender, about 30 minutes.
5. Return chops in a single layer to a pan. Cover and cook until the pork chops are done (the internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees), 7-10 minutes.
