Pork with Apples and Toasted Walnuts Preparation

1. In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, toast walnuts 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove and set aside. 2. Season chops with salt and pepper to taste. Trim a piece of fat from the edge of one chop. In the same skillet over medium-high heat, heat fat until lightly browned, using a spoon to press and rub fat over bottom of skillet to grease it well. Discard fat and increase heat to high. 3. Add chops; brown quickly on both sides. Pour excess fat, if any, from skillet. 4. Add apple juice, brandy, garlic, thyme, and apples to pan. 5. Cover pan and cook over medium-low heat 5 to 8 minutes. To test for doneness, cut into a chop; it should be tender, juicy, and slightly pink. If pork is done and apples are still crunchy, remove pork to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue to cook apples until they are tender. 6. Stir walnuts into sauce in pan. Pour walnut-apple sauce over chops. Serve chops immediately. Recipe By : the California Culinary Academy
