ROASTED LOIN OF PORK WITH BRAISED RED CABBAGE AND PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, bring approximately 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water. Blanch the red cabbage for about 30 seconds in a strainer in the large stockpot. After blanching, plunge the strainer containing the cabbage in the ice water for about 30 seconds. Dry the cabbage with a towel and reserve. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the pork lightly with black pepper.In a large cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat, brown the pork loin on all sides, about 10 to 15 minutes. When properly browned, remove the pork loin to a platter and reserve. Distribute the onion slices on the bottom of the cast-iron skillet and place the browned pork loin on top. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature of the pork is 150 degrees, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cast-iron skillet from the oven, transfer the pork loin from the skillet to a platter and let it rest in a warm spot. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned particles. Remove any burned onions. Sauté remaining onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and reserve. In a large sauté pan, over high heat, preheat the vegetable oil. Add the garlic and blanched cabbage. Sauté until the cabbage is thoroughly heated through, but still crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and the caramelized onions from the cast-iron skillet, stir briefly, add the sage and capers, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and keep warm. To serve, cut the pork loin into 1/2-inch-to-2-inch-thick slices with one bone in each slice. Place the cooked cabbage on a large warm platter. Arrange the slices of pork on the cabbage, ladle the sauce over, and serve immediately.

BONNIE'S BRAISED CABBAGE WITH RED APPLES AND WINE

Steps:

• Sear you meat in a large non-stick skillet that has a tight fitting lid, such as thick loin chops, which is what I used to make this dish. Once the chops have a good sear on both sides, transfer them to a glass baking dish, covered tight with foil, and pop them in the oven until the cabbage is done. About 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Put the half head of cabbage flat side down on a cutting board. Slice the cabbage straight across in coarse 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices in the hot pan drippings and add the 1/2 cup of wine, stir gently to pick up any brown pieces. Put the lid on the skillet. Let the cabbage cook while you wash and slice the unpeeled red apples, removing the core. Place the apples on top of the cabbage. Ever so often turn the cabbage and the apples. The apples and cabbage will brown as the cabbage cooks, make sure it doesn't burn. When the cabbage is tender, the apples will be, too. Remove chops from oven, and serve with the cabbage and apples. Enjoy!
