Sweet Balsamic Pork With Caraway Slaw Recipes

SWEET BALSAMIC PORK WITH CARAWAY SLAW

Steps:

• First, take a look at the pork steaks. If they are thick, bash them with the base of a saucepan or a rolling pin to make them thinner, as you want them to cook quite quickly to stop the sweet glaze from burning.
• Mix the ketchup, vinegar, honey and garlic in a shallow dish, then add the steaks and turn them until well coated. Cook now, or set aside to marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Heat a griddle pan and cook the steaks for about 3-4 mins each side.
• Mix all the ingredients for the slaw with some seasoning. Serve the pork and slaw with a baked potato.

CARAWAY COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and vinegar. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the caraway and mustard seeds until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to the dressing, season with salt and pepper and stir well.
• Add the green and red cabbage, onion and carrots and mix well, massaging in the dressing to coat the slaw and tenderize the vegetables. Cover and set aside at least 10 to 15 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 days.

CHEESE-STUFFED SMOKED PORK CHOPS ON WARM CABBAGE CARAWAY SLAW

Steps:

• Toss together cabbage, carrot, vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, and salt in a bowl and let stand, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes.

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide 3- to 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook slaw, tossing frequently, until cabbage is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops, turning over once, until browned, 2 to 4 minutes total. Cover skillet and cook chops until just heated through and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
• Divide slaw among 4 plates and top with chops.
