Spiced Pork Chops with Red Cabbage and Raisins

Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-4 bone-in pork rib chops (about 1 inch thick; 2 pounds total)
-1 teaspoon ground cumin
-kosher salt and black pepper
-1 onion, sliced
-1/2 small head red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
-1/2 cup golden raisins
-1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
-bread (optional)

Directions:
1) Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork with the cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
2) Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a second large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, raisins, vinegar, ¼ cup water, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, covered, tossing occasionally, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes; stir in the dill. Serve with the pork and bread, if using.
