Creamy Garlic Pork with Cabbage - pork pieces in an irresistible lighter creamy garlic sauce with delicious shredded cabbage for a perfect any night of the week dinner.
Ingredients
Serves 6
Pork chops, trimmed
1 kg
Garlic cloves, halved
8
Green cabbage
800 g
Chicken stock
540 ml
Garlic granules
1/4 tsp
Onion granules
1/4 tsp
Low-fat cream cheese
150 g
Fresh chopped parsley
Method - Prep
Step 1
Shred the cabbage into strips and set aside for later
Step 2
Slice the pork into chunks, keeping it to large pieces (I prefer to keep the pieces big as it keeps the pork tender)
Method - Cook
Step 1
Spray a deep frying pan with some cooking oil spray over a medium high heat
Step 2
Add the pork in batches and brown on both sides until lightly golden, remove and set aside
Step 3
Once all the pork is browned, reduce heat to medium and spray the pan with some more cooking oil spray, add the garlic cloves and fry just till they start to go a light golden, watch carefully, as you don't want them to burn
Step 4
Then using the 360ml of chicken stock, add a little bit of the stock at a time to prevent the garlic from burning, reduce down around the garlic as you do, adding a little bit more until the garlic has really softened. Be patient with this stage!! It's important the garlic is cooked but not burnt. So watch that pan. It's also important you reduce all the stock down in stages
Step 5
Add in the shredded cabbage, onion powder, garlic powder and the remaining chicken stock, season well with salt and black pepper, give a good toss in the pan, to distributue all the cooked garlic around the cabbage
Step 6
Add lid and let it cook on medium for about 12-15 minutes, until the cabbage is lovely and softened and the stock is pretty much absorbed
Step 7
Add in the pork into the pan with any juices that have been released and toss to combine
Step 8
Stir in the cream cheese until melted and continue to heat until sauce the pork is cooked through and the sauce is creamy and coats everything
Step 9
Season as needed with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with some fresh chopped parsley
