Steps

20 mins

1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper and rosemary.
2

With the hob on medium-high heat, add the oil and thoroughly brown both sides of the pork chops. NOTE: Do ensure that the pan is quite hot before adding in the meat in order to achieve that beautiful, golden brown sear.
3

Once the pork is nicely browned on both sides, add dry cider.
4

Allow the cider starts to bubble, then turn down the heat and let sit for about 2-3 minutes.
5

Place figs into the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for another 5 minutes or so.
6

After 5 minutes, uncover the pan and continue cooking until the cider sauce has reduced to half its volume.
7

Serve with sides of potatoes or greens.
