Recipe: Kassler Chops with Ginger & Honey Glaze
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
• 4 Kassler Chops
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 40g Fresh Ginger (peel and grate finely)
• 100g Green Beans (trim off ends and cut in half)
• 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1/2 Cabbage (sliced finely)
• 4 Courgettes (trim off ends and slice finely (3mm))
• Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper (from your pantry)
Method:
Step 1
Preheat the oven grill. Place the oven rack one setting higher than the middle of the oven.
Step 2
Place the chops in a roasting pan or large casserole dish (they must not overlap). Mix the honey, ginger and soy in a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Pour mixture over the Kassler chops and turn chops to coat in the sauce.
Step 3
Grill chops for 20 minutes, turning and basting with the sauce every 3 to 4 minutes. When done, remove chops and set them aside to rest.
Step 4
Prepare the beans, cabbage and courgettes as indicated above.
Step 5
Heat a glug of olive oil and the sesame oil in a large saucepan on medium to high heat. Add the green beans, cabbage and courgettes and stir fry (stir frequently) until they are just tender, but still a little crunchy, about 5 or 6 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Step 6
To serve, pile the stir-fried veggies onto the plates and top with a Kassler chop. Drizzle over any remaining pan juices from the chops.
