Slow Cooked Pork Chops in Cider

This is a great dish for the whole family as well as being an inexpensive mid week meal. It looks impressive and tasted delicious. I cook it for about an hour and a half but it can be left for two hours if needed so great if you need to pop something in the oven and come back later. (Perfect if I’m going to watch my daughter play netball after school).

Best served with a jacket potato which you can put in the same oven for the same duration just splash olive oil and a little sea salt on them. Cabbage is also a great accompaniment.

You can use loin pork chops which are leaner but I like to use pork shoulder chops as they have a marbling of fat that melts away in the cooking process and they are cheaper. You can add mushrooms if you fancy or it works well with a peeled apple chopped and added for sweetness. Be careful to use dry cider (Strongbow is good) – I have used Magners before and found it a bit sweet.
