| Prep: 15 Minutes | Cook: 35 Minutes | Serves: 4 |
Ingredients
- 4 Gleeson Butchers pork chops on the bone
- 2 tbsp oil
- 25g butter
- 120g mushrooms
- 2 tsp thyme leaves
- 1 large clove garlic
- 150mls cream
- 50mls whiskey
- 75mls beef stock ( 1/2 stock cube )
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Sea salt and black pepper
- 1 tray of Gleeson Butchers garlic & herb baby potatoes
- 1 tray of Gleeson Butchers buttered cabbage
Method
- Whiskey & mushroom Sauce: Wipe and slice the mushrooms. Peel and dice the garlic, boil the kettle and make the stock.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil and 10g butter in a saucepan. Gently fry the garlic and mushrooms over a low heat. Pull the thyme leaves off the stalk and add 1 tsp to the sauce base and stir through. After 10 minutes of cooking, add in the whiskey, allow to cook off, then add the stock. Bring to a simmer and allow the liquid to reduce down to half. Splash in the Worcestershire sauce. Add in the cream, season with salt and pepper and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes. This sauce can be made in advance and the flavours will develop.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, remove the film from the Gleeson Butchers baby potatoes and bake for 30 minutes in the tray, or spread on a baking tray (reduce time by 5 minutes).
- Next up, heat the remaining oil and butter in a frying pan. When sizzling hot pop in the pork chops on the bone into the frying pan. Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side on a medium heat. Depending on the thickness they may need a little longer. If you have a meat thermometer ensure the internal temperature is at 75 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the chops from the pan, cover with a little foil and allow to rest for a few minutes.
- Warm the buttered cabbage following the instructions on the pack.
- To serve place the buttered cabbage on the base of the plate, site a pork chop on the bone on top, drizzle the sauce over the top and serve with garlic and herb baby potatoes on the side.
