Prep Time:
15 minutes

Cooking Time:
20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 boneless Ontario pork loin chops (each about 1/2-inch/2 cm thick)
  • 3/4 tsp (4 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) each crumbled dried sage and thyme 
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch each ground allspice and nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

Slaw:

  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and shaved
  • 1 large apple (such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady or Fuji), cored and cut into matchsticks
  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) shaved red onion
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) orange juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) grainy mustard
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) honey
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated orange zest
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) olive oil

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Slaw: Toss together fennel, apple, celery and red onion; set aside. Whisk together vinegar, orange juice, mustard, honey, orange zest, salt and pepper; whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well combined. Toss with fennel mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. 
  2. Pork Chops: Meanwhile, season pork chops all over with salt and pepper. Mix together sage, thyme, mustard powder, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg; rub all over pork chops.
  3. Heat oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook pork chops, in batches, for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with apple slaw.

Tip: Use a mandolin or slicer attachment on a food processor to shave vegetables for slaw. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices.
