  • 14 cups oil, your choice
  • 2 large onions, sliced

How To Make pork chops braised with wine, prunes and apricots

  • Step 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.
  • Step 2
    Drain all but 2 tbsp. oil and add sliced onions. Saute until light brown, about 5 minutes
  • Step 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.
  • Step 4
    Using a slotted spoon, arrange onions and fruit around pork chops. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Step 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.
