Some recipes are good and some are fantastic
-this one's a real plate licker!
Ingredients

2 Pork Chops - THICK
1 tbsp Olive Oil - for frying pork
1 tbsp Butter - for frying pork
1 Red Onion - sliced

Sauce

1/4 cup Aussie Sling
1/4 cup Coconut Creme Liqueur
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp honey
1 tsp mixed herbs
1/4 cup Sweet Semillon Vinegar
2 tbsp Ketcup Manis (sweet soy sauce)
1/4 cup thickened cream

Method

Preheat Oven to 180°C

Melt Olive Oil and Butter in a heavy cast iron frying pan and heat to very hot and fry Pork on one side until lightly brown, turn and fry on other side until lightly brown both sides - place pork chops in frying pan directly into the oven. Cook for approximately 15 minutes - time depends on the thickness of the chops. Take out of frying pan and rest (keep warm).

Saute sliced Red Onion in Olive Oil until caramalised and set aside.

Make Sauce in heavy cast iron frying pan used for Pork Chops, by combining Aussie Sling, Coconut Creme Liqueur, mixed herbs, Sweet Semillon Vinegar, and Ketchup Manis. Bring to slow boil in frying pan and cook and reduce. Once thickened, stir in cream and continue to boil until sauce is covered with large shiny bubbles - about 3-5 minutes. Add sauteed red onion to the sauce and mix in gently.

Serve by placing Pork Chops on the plate and spooning over the sauce. Serve with steamed vegetables such as zuchinni, broccoli, sweetcorn and/or cauliflower.

Hello, just wondering when you are next at Southbank? What time are you at the markets until? I've run out of Splice & Jellybean & am going to burst if I have to wait too long to buy more! ;) (I probably can't make it this Sunday since I'll be at Mt Tamborine!)

I just want to say I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE your products, & the service is super-friendly each time my friends & I visit you out at Stanthorpe.

Will you be starting a fan page on Facebook? I did a search & there was a 'Castle Glen' on there, but it wasn't your one! :(

Kind regards,

Karen

Interesting Fact:

'Liqueur' - French, from Old French 'licour', a liquid
Quite often mis-spelled as 'Liquer'.

Castle Glen Liquers ... oops ... I mean Liqueurs.
