Preparation
STEP 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float at look plump, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and coat lightly with olive oil to avoid sticking.
STEP 2
Pat the pork chops dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
STEP 3
Lower the heat to medium. Add the shallot and garlic to the pan and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened.
STEP 4
Deglaze with hard cider, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard and chicken broth. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced apple and cook until just soften, 2–3 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until the sauce is glossy.
STEP 5
Return pork to pan along with gnocchi. Mix gently so everything is dispersed, coated well with sauce and warmed through. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves, serve and enjoy!
