My better
half brought home some nice pork chops and I was pondering how to cook them
when I remembered that I recently discovered that we have sage in the
garden. No, I'm not losing my mind, I
think, but since our move I keep noticing new things.
So anyway I
decided to do a pork and sage recipe.
Ingredients:
Pork chops
A fistful
of sage leaves
Olive oil
Lemon juice
(about 2 tablespoons – also from my garden)
Butter
First you
put your pork into a ceramic or glass dish (not metal). Make a marinade using 1/3 of your sage finely
chopped, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Whisk it together and pour it over your pork
and leave to marinade for at least an hour.
When your
hour or so is up, take the pork out of the marinade – but don't throw the
marinade out – you'll need it later.
Fry the
pork till tender. Put the pork onto a
plate and cover it with foil. Then in
the pan you were using (without cleaning it at all) put the marinade and the
sage leaves and fry until the sage is crisp.
I added a bit of butter while it was frying. The sage started to crinkle a bit but I
wasn't brave enough to let it burn, so it wasn't really crisp.
The sage
went well with the pork. A delicate
combo rather than a punch in the face.
Sounds delicious! Would not have thought to combine sage with lemon :)
