Sweet and Spicy Pork Chops with Apple Slaw

This recipe has a wide variety of flavors and textures to keep you coming back for more. Celery root pulls double duty in this recipe: we use it raw in a fresh and crunchy slaw, and the rest we cook and toss with olive oil for creamy, soft contrast. The slaw also calls for fresh apple (a classic pairing for pork) and raw celery to echo the flavor of the celery root. The pork chops get a boost from spicy honey, which gets drizzled on at the end for a perfect glaze.

Note: To streamline the slaw you can prep the celery root, celery, and apple in advance (toss the cut apple with a splash of vinegar to keep it from browning), but don’t dress the slaw until just before the pork has finished cooking to ensure everything stays crisp.

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

3) While the pork cooks, prepare the slaw. In a large bowl whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp honey. Cut apple into thin matchsticks or grate on the large holes of a box grater, and then add to the bowl with the dressing. Add reserved grated celery root and sliced celery to the bowl, tossing to combine. Season slaw to taste with salt and pepper. 

4) In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tbsp honey and cayenne pepper.

5) After the pork has finished cooking, remove the pork chops from the bag and pat dry thoroughly. Heat a cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add vegetable oil to the pan, swirling to coat. Add the pork chops and sear for 1 minute without moving, pressing on the meat gently to ensure contact with the pan. Flip chops and continue to cook on the other side for 1 minute. Remove chops from the pan and immediately top with the spicy honey. 

6) Transfer celery root to a medium bowl, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide apple slaw, celery root, and pork chops between two plates.
