Pork Chops with Caraway Cabbage
Gluten Free Living – 2025
I’m always looking for new recipes and ways to enjoy old favorites. Pork Chops with Caraway Cabbage is a tasty and delicious way to enjoy both pork chops and cabbage. In this recipe, you brown the chops, then cook the cabbage. Then both are combined and simmered until the chops are tender. The combination of flavorings is really scrumptious, especially if you enjoy cabbage.

I tried a lot of sauerkraut and cabbage recipes back in spring of 2024. Most were made with kielbasa or Polish sausage, but this one used pork chops instead. It’s a great way to use pork chops especially for those of you who grew up eating cabbage or sauerkraut from home gardens.
This recipe is relatively easy and pretty basic. I will only add that you may want to simmer the chops longer than the original time suggested — especially if your chops are thick. The extra cooking time will make them more tender. Thinner chops will not take as long to cook so keep that in mind while cooking. (No one wants to eat tough pork chops!) So cook the chops to desired doneness and enjoy!
