- 66Canadian Pork Rib Chops, 3/4"/2 cm thick
- 1 Tbsp15 mLcracked black peppercorns
- 1-1/2 tsp7 mLgrated orange zest
- 1 Tbsp15 mLfresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried)
- 1/2 tsp2 mLsalt
- 1 Tbsp15 mLcanola oil
- 3 Tbsp45 mLbalsamic vinegar
- 2/3 cup150 mLbrown sugar
- 1 Tbsp15 mLgrated fresh ginger
- 2 cups500 mLsliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
Directions
Combine peppercorns, orange zest, thyme, and salt and rub into pork rib chops. To make Rhubarb Compote, combine vinegar, sugar, and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add rhubarb and return to a boil. Simmer until rhubarb is tender, about 1 minute. Drain rhubarb thoroughly and set aside. Simmer remaining liquid until slightly thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup (125 mL). Stir in reserved rhubarb and cook until compote is of desired consistency. Heat oil in a large skillet and cook chops over medium heat until springy when touched, and with a hint of pink in the centre, about 5 minutes each side for a 3/4″/2 cm chop. If ribs chops are unavailable, pork rib steaks or pork centre cut chops/steaks are equally good choices. Serve warm compote over pork chops.
