Instructions

Step 1

Place the sun-dried tomatoes and coconut milk in a blender or food processor and blend or pulse until the coconut milk is light pink and the tomatoes are finely chopped. Set aside.

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork chops with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops about 5 minutes per side or until seared and lightly browned. Using tongs, remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, the garlic, and the onion to the skillet, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook for 5 minutes or until it begins to soften and wilt.

Step 5

Pour the prepared cream sauce and the broth over the cabbage and nestle in the pork chops, spooning the sauce over the chops. Cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the sauce is reduced by a third or to your thickness preference.

Step 6

Serve the pork chops over your preferred grain.
