Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 well-trimmed bone-in rib pork chops, 8 ounces each
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 package (1 pound) coleslaw mix
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
- 3/4 pound small red potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Directions
- In a Dutch oven (5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid), heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Generously sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove pork.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining tablespoon oil, onion, coleslaw mix, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has wilted, about 10 minutes.
- Raise heat to high. Add vinegar, caraway seeds, and 1 1/4 cups water; bring to a boil. Add potatoes, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until cabbage and potatoes are almost tender, about 20 minutes.
- Return pork to pot; cover, and continue cooking until pork is just cooked through and potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Cook's Note
Caraway seeds, which are common in rye bread, have a nutty, licorice-like flavor that pairs well with cabbage.

This was really good! I added just a little dijon and brown sugar, like a tablespoon of each, to the liquid. I also boiled some whole potatoes on the side instead of cooking them with everything else, that's just the way we like them.
