The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 pork chops
- 200 ml beef stock
- 2 tbsp brown caster sugar
- 1 large onion
- 1 garlic clove
- few sprigs thyme
- 1 tbsp butter
- olive oil
- 1 cup bacon strips
- pepper and salt to liking
Instruction
- You will need the following cooking equipment:: cutting board & chef's knife, large skillet
- Cut the onion into half rings and finely chop the garlic clove. Rub pepper and salt on both sides of the pork chops. Be careful with the salt, the bacon you're adding, later on, is also salty. Pork chops and bacon caramelized onions
- Brown butter in the large skillet and cook the pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Reheat the butter and add a little bit of olive oil.
- Sauté the bacon strips for a few minutes, add the onion rings and after a few minutes more, add the chopped garlic. Stir in the brown sugar until it is caramelized. This will only take a few minutes.
- Pour in the beef stock together with the thyme sprigs and let it simmer on low heat until the desired thickness has reached. Remove the thyme sprigs and transfer the pork chops back into the sauce. Reheat the pork and serve immediately.
- We served this dish with potatoes and a colourful ratatouille, we loved the combination. It's a plate full of flavours, try our ratatouille recipe.
