How to Make Apple And Onion Smothered Pork Chops With Garam Masala

1. Generously rub garam masala on both sides of each pork chop. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Once hot, add pork chops. Sear undisturbed until deeply browned on the bottom (about 4-5 minutes).
4. Flip and brown the second side (another 4-5 minutes).
5. Add sliced onions and apples to the skillet. Sprinkle with crushed juniper berries and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and apples are softened and lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes).
7. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Bring to a simmer and cook until the alcohol evaporates (about 1 minute).
9. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer gently until the sauce has thickened into a reddish-brown glaze and the apples and onions cling to the pork chops (about 10-15 minutes).
10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Serve immediately.
