Ingredients

  • 3 Red Delicious apples
  • 6 ounces dried California raisins
  • 4 ounces brown sugar
  • 8 center-cut pork chops
  • 6 ounces unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces demi-glace
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Corn flour
  • Vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 3 apples, 6 ounces of dried raisins, 6 ounces of brown sugar, and let marinate for a few hours.

In a hot pan, slowly grill the pork chops until completely cooked. Melt the unsalted butter, mix in the raisin, apple and sugar mixture, add 6 ounces of demi-glace, and saute until apples are soft.

Take 3 slices of apple for each serving and dip in water, sprinkle with salt, then coat in corn flour. Deep-fry the apples and place on each plate for garnish.

Serve with either sauteed fresh spinach or tropical rice and black beans.
