From the Test Kitchen

Chefs, tonight we're highlighting a timeless trio of fall flavors: pork, cabbage and apple. When simply sautéed, our cone cabbage turns enticingly nutty and tender, forming the perfect base for our spiced pork chops. As for the apple, we’re using it to make a bright compote that complements the pork’s richness. Another seasonal favorite, sweet potato—roasted then tossed with creamy blue cheese—makes for a spectacular side.
