PORK CHOP WITH GLAZED QUINCES AND SAGE

alison may 7th 02 1

Method

  • Preheat a heavy based fry pan to hot
  • Drizzle a little oil over the pork chops, season well with salt and pepper, rub it into the meat on both sides
  • Cook all four chops together
  • Keep the temperature up on high as you are wanting to get a crisp, golden caramel exterior of your chop
  • Turn it over after 3 – 4 minutes (depending on size)
  • Add the sage leaves and let get fragrant and crispy
  • Cook for 1 minute, then add the cooked quince and a little liquid, add enough stock to loosen the sauce and to lift off any sediment (flavour) from the bottom
  • Remove the pork chops and keep warm
  • Let the sauce bubble away vigorously, taste it and adjust the seasoning - it may or may not need a little lemon juice
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter
  • Whisk until emulsified and glossy
  • Serve the pork chop on some wilted spinach, with the glazed quinces and all that delicious sauce drizzled over the chops
