Background

These pork chops with spiced plums are ready within 20 minutes so they're perfect for a midweek family supper. Serve them with some mash and steamed veggies or a green salad.

Ingredients

2 pork chops
6 plums
1 Tbsp unrefined sugar
2 cm ginger, finely grated
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 glass of apple juice
1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Halve the plums then remove the stones. Cut them in half again so you'll get 24 wedges. Put these in a bowl, add the sugar, ginger, garlic and half of the apple juice. Toss well and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Season the pork chops then fry them on each side for about 5 minutes until light brown. Add the plum mixture (including the juices) and cook until the plums are soft and the chops are golden brown.
Transfer the chops to a plate, cove and rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile make the plum sauce: add the remaining apple juice, turn up the heat and reduce it by half, or until you get a sticky sauce.
Pour this over the chops then serve immediately with your chosen side dishes.
