Necessary Ingredients: - For the meat: 3.7 kg pork chop (ideally with bone for juiciness) 3 tablespoons mustard seeds 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons frozen cranberries 1 heaping tablespoon cranberry jam 1 small box of liquid cream Salt, pepper, olive oil 1-2 apples (preferably sour) 5-6 garlic cloves 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 50-70 g pine nuts 100 ml semi-dry white wine - For the marinade: 250 ml semi-dry white wine 1 large onion 1 head of garlic Thyme (fresh or dried) 1 carrot 1 celery 1 parsnip Olive oil Salt, pepper - For the garnish: 300 g potatoes 150 g peas 150 g baby carrots 3-4 green onions 1 orange bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper Salt, pepper, oil, paprika 1 sprig of rosemary - For the alternative garnish (stuffed mushrooms): 4-6 large mushrooms 6-7 slices of bacon 25 g butter 100 g leek 100 g cheese 1 onion 1 egg Salt, pepper Recipe Preparation: Step 1: Marinade Start by marinating the pork chop. Cut the meat as illustrated in the images, removing excess fat. In a large bowl, combine the white wine, chopped onion, crushed garlic cloves, thyme, chopped carrot, celery, and parsnip. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the chop in a sealable bag, add the marinade, and seal it. Let the meat marinate in the refrigerator overnight to absorb all the flavors. Step 2: Preparing the Chop The next day, remove the chop from the marinade and discard the marinade. Rinse the meat under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix the mustard with honey, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Coat the chop well with this mixture. Step 3: Preparing the Vegetables Peel the apples and slice them into rounds. Chop a few garlic cloves and place them in a baking dish along with the chop. In a preheated baking dish, add olive oil, 100 ml of white wine, and a cup of water. Place the chop and apples in the dish. If you notice that there isn't enough liquid, add water. Step 4: Baking Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the chop for about 45 minutes, making sure to baste the meat every 15 minutes with the sauce from the dish. When the baking time is almost up, add the cranberry dressing and liquid cream. Leave it in the oven for another 20 minutes. Step 5: Finishing After the 20 minutes, check the chop. Add crushed pine nuts on top and leave it in the oven for a few more minutes. The pine nuts will contribute to a delicious and aromatic crust. Step 6: Garnishes For the garnishes, boil the potatoes in salted water with a little vinegar, then peel and cut them into quarters. In a baking dish, mix the potatoes with peas, onions, peppers, and baby carrots, adding rosemary, salt, pepper, and oil. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Alternative: Stuffed Mushrooms For an alternative garnish, clean the mushrooms, chop the stems, and sauté them with bacon, onion, and leek in butter. Mix with an egg, season with salt and pepper, and fill the mushrooms. Bake them on the grill for 20 minutes, adding cheese at the end. Serving: If you want to add a special touch, serve the pork chop with a fresh green salad or a cranberry chutney. This dish pairs perfectly with a semi-dry white wine that will complement the intense flavors of the meat and dressing.
