Recipe : Braised Pork Chops with Onion Salsa

Makes 4 Servings

1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced
1 medium tomato
Four 5-ounce loin pork chops (with bone)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or ground red pepper)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons apple juice or cider

Soak onion in cold water 30 minutes. Drain and chop finely. Chop tomato; drain
in wire mesh strainer or colander 30 minutes.
Season chops with salt and pepper. To prepare onion salsa, in large bowl,
combine onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, orange zest, ginger
and red pepper flakes. Reserve.
In a 10" nonstick skillet, heat oil over high heat. When hot, add chops and brown
quickly on both sides, about 1-1 1/2 minutes each side. Add apple juice, cover
and lower heat to medium-low. Braise 15-20 minutes, until chops are tender and
fully cooked, turning chops several times. Remove chops; turn up heat to reduce
liquid. Pour sauce over chops; top with onion salsa.
