Pork Chops With Apples And Swiss - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 medium pork chops
4 whole cloves
1/2 cup dry white wine (can sub vermouth)
4 celery leaves
2 bay leaves
4 celery ribs, washed and diced finely
1 tablespoon butter
2 apples, cored and thickly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 ounces swiss cheese or 4 ounces jarlsberg cheese, coarsely grated

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375F and butter a baking pan.
Press a clove into each chop, then add the chops to the pan, followed by the wine, celery leaves, and bay leaves. Bake the chops for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan and saute the diced celery for 5 minutes, tehn add the apples and brown sugar. Turn the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, or until just tender.
After 30 minutes, remove the pork chops, discard the bay and celery leaves and sprinkle cheese on each chop. Baste with juices and broil a few minutes to brown. Add a few pan juices to the apple-celery mixture, and serve as a side with the pork chops.
