PORK WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pork: Place the pork chops on the work surface. Season them both sides with salt, pepper, and dried coriander.
• Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the steaks and fry them for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the seared steaks on it. Distribute the 2 ounces of butter on each of them. Also, top the steaks with rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 360⁰F/180⁰C.
• For the sauce: Heat a cooking pot over low heat, then add the butter and melt it.
• Add the blueberries and rosemary. Simmer for 10 minutes. Crush the blueberries in the process.
• Strain the cooked blueberries into another cooking pot using a strainer and a rubber spatula.
• Place the cooking pot over low heat. Add the wine and heavy cream. Cook and stir until it starts bubbling.
• Add the honey and lime zest and stir them in.

RUBY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once the butter foams, toss in the shallots and garlic, and sauté until soft and tender, about 3 or 4 minutes. Pour the port and beef stock into the saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Let reduce for about 20 minutes, or until you have about 2 cups of brothlike sauce. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter for a touch of added thickness and gloss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

• Remove from heat.
• Place mixture into a chinois (or a strainer with fine mesh) fitted over a medium saucepan.
• Force mixture through the chinois with wooden spoon, pressing well to remove all blackberry seeds.
• Stir butter and salt into sauce.

ROAST PORK WITH BLUEBERRY PORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season roast generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
