Old-Fashioned Pork Chops and Cabbage

By Diana Rattray

Pork and cabbage are easy to make and delicious. While the recipe is written for pork chops, you can use a pork loin roast instead.

Ingredients

  • 6 pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1 head cabbage

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  3. In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the pork chops in the oil, turning to brown all sides. This is key since the cabbage will get its color and flavor from the caramelization of the pork. Work in batches if needed.

  4. After the pork is sufficiently brown on all sides, core a head of green cabbage and cut it into 8 wedges.

  6. Continue simmering, stirring frequently, until the pork is falling apart and cabbage is brown and totally wilted.
