HONEY AND THYME GLAZED PORK WITH SHOESTRING FRIES
INGREDIENTS
For the pork chops 4 pork chops Salt and pepper, to season 4 sprigs fresh thyme 3 tbsp oil, to rub ¼ cup brown sugar ½ cup honey 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar |
For the fries 4 large potatoes ½ cup vinegar Salt and pepper, to taste |
METHOD
1. For the Pork Chops: Rub the pork chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
2. Heat a griddle pan on a high heat and grill the pork chops for 10 minutes on each side. Add the rest of the ingredients into a saucepan to make a glaze, and baste the chops.
3. For the fries: Peel and cut potatoes into thin chips. Soak them in water with salt and vinegar for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a heavy-based pot. Once a chip floats to the top, the heat is right.
4. Fry off the chips until they are cooked inside with a crunchy exterior.
Drain the chips on a paper towel, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the pork chops, glaze and chips together.
