Pork Chops a lá Hartvåg
This is a recipe I’ve brought with me from home, a fail-safe dinner that will never cease to amaze my taste buds and bring a smile to my face as I remember mum’s dinners. The Worcestershire sauce was dad’s idea though.
To feed 4, you need:
- 5 large loin chops (one extra is always a good idea in case someone eats theirs too quickly and finds themselves hungering for more…)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
Here’s the how-to:
Rub the chops all over with salt, pepper and lots of Worcestershire sauce.
Heat a large skillet on a medium-high heat and melt some margarine or butter. Cook two chops at a time.
Cook them on one side for a couple of minutes or until meat juice starts to show up on the surface, then turn them and cook for about one minute. Take them out of the pan and place them in a heat proof dish with a lid or in aluminum foil to keep warm whilst cooking the other two.
When they’re all cooked, gently press you finger down on the meatiest part to see if they’re cooked to your liking, if you want them more done then put them back in the skillet on a low heat for about a minute or so. If not, deglaze the pan with a little water and Worcestershire sauce to make a lovely reduction, and serve with boiled potatoes and maybe some vegetables!
