Apple Pork Chops

Here's a very simple, but fun, recipe. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner, and takes just 20 minutes to cook - the time it'll take you to boil potatoes. It's a great dish in the transition between winter and spring - it uses winter ingredients like apples and lingonberry jam, but the flavors are strong, fresh and spring-like.

Apple Pork Chops
Serves 2

2 nice pork chops
salt
white pepper
butter
150 ml apple cider (or water)
1/2 tbsp flour
1 bouillon cube (meat or vegetable)
50 ml cream
1-2 tsp soy sauce
1 apple
1-2 tbsp lingonberry jam
boiled potatoes, to serve

Fry the chops in a bit of butter, and season with salt and white pepper. Remove to a plate.

Whisk the apple cider (or water) with the flour, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the bouillon cube and the cream, and season with soy sauce to taste. Add the chops, and let them cook for about five minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and dice the apples, or cut them into wedges. Fry in a little butter. Add this to the sauce, along with a spoon or two of lingonberries, and serve with potatoes.
