Ok so I had some pork chops, some plums and fresh green beans...what to do?
So I steamed the beans until just tender and held them. Then I took 3 Tbs of bacon drippings and cooked 1/2 of small diced onion, turned the heat off and let them set.
Next for the chops -
2 thick cut pork chops
1 large clove of garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger
6 ripe fresh plums pitted and cut into 1/8's
1/8 c low sodium soy sauce
1 T brown sugar
1 T sherry wine vinegar
S&P
Browned chops on both sides, set aside, added garlic and ginger to the pan and let it cook for about 30 seconds. Add soy, brown sugar, vinegar and plums and let them start to get soft, add the pork chops back to the pan, cover and let simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Pull and cover and turn heat back to med/high to let the sauce reduce. While sauce is reducing reheat the onions and add beans back to heat thru.
Yum!
