2014 Cooking Club Week 35: Drunken Pork

JamesReeves

James’ Drunken Pork
Hey sorry about this not having pics but should be easy to follow without.

You’ll need the following

Pork chops – cut into strips (fat cut off optional)
Salt / Pepper /Sage
Oil
Onion
Bottle/Can of beer
Cream
Potato + Chives & Butter

1. To begin cut your pork chops into strip. I cut the fat off but you don't need to. Season this well with salt and pepper.
2. Heat some oil in a wok or a large pot.
3. Add the meat in and let it cook. In the meantime slice an onion and add into the pot. you can also add the sage in here, fresh or dried which ever you have to hand.
4. Once the meat has browned off add 95%* of can or bottle of your favorite beer into the mix. Last time I used Peroni and 'twas delicious (the other 5% is for the obligatory swig )
5. Reduce the heat and let the liquid reduce and thicken a little, stirring occasionally.
6. While this is happening cook some potato and other veg you like. I used carrots the last time.
7. Just before the potato is cooked add a nice about of cream to the pot/wok and bring it up to temperature.
8. Mash your spuds with chives and butter.
9. Serve the strips of chop with the mash and other veg and maybe open another bottle or can... after all it is Friday .

Enjoy

I don't like the stuff, but would it be good cooked in Cider?

Never tried it with cider, don't like it so probably won't either. But it's not strong or anything with the beer.

It sounds lovely. I don't like Cider either to be honest, but they reckon pork and apple go together!

I've made something very similar to this, using cider and adding a healthy dollop of mustard to the sauce at the end. Dijon or wholegrain, not English or you'll have no sinuses left. It's delicious and it takes no time at all.

Absolutely, I'd nearly prefer it with cider, nice dry cider with plenty of bite. Nothing too sweet.

Made this again last night, very tasty, how long do you normally leave it to reduce down as I find it takes a long time? Cheers.

Made this last weekend, only difference was I left the chops whole and added a good spoon on wholegrain mustard. Served with mash & some veg, great comfort food, really enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed this thank you! Will add less beer next time as sauce was too funny for me, liked the taste though!
