Pork Chops with Black Beer Sauce

Ingredients:

3 or 4 Loriente pork chops

1 leek

250ml of black beer

200ml of beef stock

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Chives for garnish

Steps:

1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a large pan and sear the chops for a couple of minutes on each side; they don’t need to be fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Peel and chop the leek, then add it to the pan where the chops were cooked. Fry for a few minutes until it begins to brown.
3. Add the black beer and the beef stock, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the alcohol from the beer has evaporated and the sauce starts to thicken.
4. Add the pork chops back to the pan and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes on each side, allowing them to absorb the flavour of the sauce.
5. Remove the chops and strain the sauce.
6. Serve the chops garnished with chives and accompanied by the sauce.
