Self-Saucing Pork Chops

Stuff to serve it with (I HIGHLY recommend garlic mashed potatoes. Plus a salad to fake healthy.)

1. Marinade pork chops in a little red wine vinegar (maybe a tablespoon), a drizzle of honey, and the grated apple.

2. Meanwhile simmer the onions in lightly salted water for ten minutes. Drain the onions, reserving the water if you're not going to use stock.

3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions and turn to coat. Sprinkle over around a tablespoon of castor sugar and add the pork chops, along with the honey and apple. Cover with stock or the onion water (around a cup, a cup and a half), cover the pork and onions with baking paper, and simmer until the liquid is almost all gone (depending on how thick your pork is, you may need to remove it at some stage and then add the onions when the liquid is very reduced) - this should take around 20 minutes, i.e. enough time to boil and mash some potatoes.

4. Serve on top of potatoes all drizzly and delicious. They're called self-saucing potatoes because, duh! They come with built-in apple sauce. :P
