Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1 bag of beet and maple purée
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 1 clove of garlic
- 100 gr butter
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons of canola oil
Salad
- 240g (6 cups) of kale, chopped with stems removed
- 1 apple (cut into julienne strips)
- Pecans or walnuts
- Juice of 0.5 lemon
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
- Heat a skillet thoroughly to sear the meat; meanwhile, season the meat well on both sides.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the canola oil and the pork, wait a minute, then add the garlic, butter, and thyme. Baste the meat with the butter, thyme, and garlic mixture.
- Use a serving spoon to continuously baste the pork chops with the butter, canola oil, thyme, and garlic mixture (give it some love). For medium-rare pork.
- Once well coloured on each side, place the rack on an ovenproof tray. For a pink pork, reach 63°C in the center.
- Heat the beet puree, serve warm or cold.
- Meanwhile, prepare the salad.
- Place pork in oven.
- Assemble the plate and enjoy!
Beer and food pairing
I recommend an amber beer; its caramel notes pair well with pork and curry.
