There were a lot of apples at the farmers market on the weekend and I got a bunch of them. I have been enjoying snacking on them but I also wanted to cook with them. I came across a recipe for pork chops with apple, sage and pancetta in Taste Italia magazine that sounded pretty tasty. Pork and apples go well together and you just can’t go wrong by adding some salty pancetta. The use o sage also cought my eye as I have been enjoying sage lately. All said and done the dish was easy to make and pretty tasty.
