I've been looking for recipes to use up some Asian condiments and came across this one which I plan on making soon. I think this pork will be great as part as an Asian meal with rice ans stir fry vegetables or with rice noodle salad. Recipe source: Gourmet (June 2005) Ingredients:
6 boneless pork chops (1/4 inch thick) |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup shallot, chopped |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 tablespoon asian fish sauce |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Pound chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper with a meat pounder (flat side) or rolling pin until meat is 1/8 inch thick.
2. Make several small slits around edge of each chop.
3. Half each chop lengthwise and transfer to bowl.
4. In a saucepan cook sugar over medium heat until it begins to melt, continue cooking stirring until sugar is melted into a golden caramel.
5. Add shallots, lime juice, fish sauce and salt and cook 2 minutes longer or until caramel is dissolved and shallots are softened.
6. Pour sauce over pork, toss.
7. Heat a grill pan over heat until hot, but not smoking.
8. Grill pork in batches, turning once until cooked through (1-3 minutes per side).
9. Discard any remaining caramel sauce.
