I'd bought some thin pork chops and wasn't sure what to do with them. I'd also found some agretti - a type of cress, which I've shown you before here - and was wondering what to do with that. I had some oranges, honey, sage and white wine. This is what I came up with:
Pork chops with oranges and agretti
Crush a clove of garlic and brown it for a minute in 3 tablesp olive oil in a wide pan. Add 4 thin pork chops and cook for 3 - 4 minutes on each side. Lift the chops out and put them on a plate. Now add a little white wine to the pan - about 5 fl oz, I suppose - and deglaze. Add the juice of an orange, a tablesp of honey - orange-flavoured is nice - let it all bubble up and then put the chops back in. Grate the rind of another orange over them, then segment the orange and add these pieces to the pan. Season and add some sage leaves and agretti if you have some. Serve immediately with salad.
Agretti sono verdura? It looks divine in that orange flavored gravy.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so very, very good!I'm now past my suppertime by 4 hours and really wish I could taste pork chops with oranges and agretti!
ReplyDeleteMy categories are broad, lakeviewer! Thanks. Glad you like the look of it, Nick.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Will try that next time. I love making up dishes by looking what's on hand and be creative with it.
ReplyDeleteJust as well because as an expat I've lived in several places with limited availability of foods and ingredients. Being creative and adventurous was the only way to go.
Sounds fabulous
ReplyDeleteIt looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteHello, Miss Footloose. Yes, I agree. You have to use what you have and be creative. Thsnks, WW and Cherie.
ReplyDeleteYummy, yummy, yummy. That sounds like fast food to the max. And does your sweet pooch get a taste or is she restricted to dog food?
ReplyDeletePork and orange - nice combination.
ReplyDeleteHi, Carmen. She gets special ham from the deli! Yes, they go well, James.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to my pork in orange recipe but yours sounds nicer!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried my pork chops in orange recipe that I sent to you? Without the agretti that is?
ReplyDeleteHi, DD. It's on my list of things to do.
