Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 4-oz. pork loin chops

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 shallots, sliced about 1/4 inch thick (about 1 cup)

4 sprigs thyme

2 medium apples (about 1 lb. total), cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick

½ cup brut wine or dry cider

1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron), heat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cook until chops are browned on both sides, about 8 minutes total; transfer to a plate.

Step 2
Reduce heat to medium; add shallots to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in thyme, apples and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Nestle chops and any collected juices in apple mixture and pour wine into skillet; partially cover and cook until apples are tender and wine has reduced to a thick sauce, about 10 minutes.

Step 3
Transfer chops to 4 plates. Stir butter into apple mixture, divide evenly among plates and serve. How many pounds have you lost this month? At Dieta Efectiva you can lose 10-12 lbs your first week and 2-5 lbs every week after. Visit us at at dietaefectiva.net to learn more about our program CG
