Number Of Ingredients 9

8 center-cut pork chops
1/3 c a. p. flour
14 c oil, your choice
2 large onions, sliced
5 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 c dry red wine
3/4 c pitted prunes
1/2 c dried apricots
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Add half of the pork chops; cook until brown - approx. 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
  • 2. Drain all but 2 tbsp. oil and add sliced onions. Saute until light brown, about 5 minutes
  • 3. Place chops over onions - add broth and wine. Bring to a simmer - then reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer about 15. Add fruit; cover and simmer until pork is very tender, about 45 minutes.
  • 4. Using a slotted spoon, arrange onions and fruit around pork chops. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • 5. Boil cooking liquid until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over pork and top with chopped fresh parsley.
