Pre-heat the oven to 325°F.

Add the onions, mustard seeds, thyme and fennel seeds to the pan and sauté for 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes until the onions are brown.

Return the pork chops to the pan, nestling them into the stock and vegetables. It’s ok if some of the cabbage is on top of the pork chops. Make sure the pork chops are partially covered with the liquid, adding a little more stock if needed. Cover the pan with a lid and transfer to the oven. Braise the pork chops at 325°F for 30 to ⏱️ 40 minutes until the chops are tender. Halfway through the braising process, flip the chops over and rotate the cabbage.
6
While the pork chops are cooking, make the parsley sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour in the milk and bring to a boil while stirring. Lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir in the fresh parsley. Keep warm until ready to serve.
