We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°.

  • Step 2: Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the Dutch oven; swirl to coat. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the Dutch oven; cook 7 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the pork from the pan; keep warm.

  • Step 3: Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add the onion slices to the pan; cook 5 minutes or until the onion begins to brown, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth and the next 4 ingredients (through garlic) to the pan. Bring to a boil, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits.

  • Step 4: Return the pork to the Dutch oven. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 1/2 hours.

  • Step 5: Add kale to the Dutch oven. Return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

  • Step 6: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil; swirl to coat. Add apples; cook for 3 minutes or until they are starting to soften. Add vinegar and brown sugar; cook 1 minute or until the sugar dissolves and the liquid almost evaporates. Serve the apples with the pork and kale mixture.
