Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops about 1-inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 250 ml chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 apples cored, peeled and sliced (Bramley or another tart variety)
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Optionally season both sides of the pork chops with a little salt and pepper. Add some oil to the insert bowl of the pressure cooker and switch to the sear/sauté mode.
- When the oil is hot, add the pork chops and sear them on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side should be enough. Remove the pork chops and set to one side.
- Add the chopped onions and crushed garlic to the pressure cooker and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the dried thyme and stir.
- Pour in a little chicken stock to deglaze the base, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Leave the brown bits in the base of the pot as they add more flavour to the dish.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.
- Return the pork chops to the pot and add the slices of apple.
- Put the lid on the pressure cooker and choose the pressure cooker function. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure cooker naturally release for 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the lid. Serve alongside your favourite sides (rice or potatoes are good options with some green vegetables).
Notes
You can use pork steaks instead of pork chops.
