Instructions
Pour the oil in a skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced onion and stir often for about 4 minutes or until nicely browned.
Add the thinly sliced red pepper and turn the heat to medium low. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Move the peppers and onions to the edge of the skillet and get ready for the chops.
Season the chops with the salt and pepper.
Add to the open space in the pan, turn the heat back up to medium-high, and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Pour in the cider, turn the heat to low, and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling
Pork Chops can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. The A to Z Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.

A to Z Chardonnay
The 2010 A to Z Chardonnay opens with aromas of white flowers, tangerine, lime, quince, wet stone and minerals that develop further into nutmeg, honey, green apple with hints of ginger. A mineral laden attack is bright, mouthwatering and intense. The nuanced mid-palate carries on with flavors that mirror and amplify the aromatics. The finish is long, clean, crisp and juicy with flavors of honeysuckle, citrus and wet stone. This wine exemplifies classic Oregon steely Chardonnay. 2010 was an exceptional vintage for white wines in Oregon and this sophisticated terroir driven wine is no exception; bright, tangy and intense it will deliver over the next 5 years.
