Chef Michelle draws on childhood memories for this dish, giving classic flavors a more flavorful spin. The pork chop is brined in spices for extra flavor, then caramelized until golden brown. It’s served over tender braised cabbage and melting sweet apples, with just a little touch of vinegar. No shake-and-bake here—just comfort, done right.
