Ingredients
Scale
- 3 or 4 pork chops
- A handful of coarse salt
- 120 milliliters of olive oil
- 50 grams of onion, finely chopped
- 60 milliliters of sliced almonds
- 50 milliliters of white wine
- 30 milliliters of water
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are prepared and measured before you begin cooking for a seamless experience.
- Onion Sauce Preparation:
- Chop the Onion: Peel and finely chop the onion. A finer chop will result in a smoother sauce once blended.
- Sauté: In a pan, sauté the chopped onion with a pinch of salt over medium heat until it starts to soften. This step is crucial for developing the sauce’s flavor base.
- Almonds: Add the sliced almonds to the pan. Almonds will thicken the sauce and add a creamy texture and nutty flavor.
- Deglaze: Pour in the white wine and water, allowing the mixture to reduce for about five minutes. After reducing, remove from heat and let it rest for another five minutes.
- Blend: Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Keep the sauce warm on low heat until ready to serve.
- Pork Chops:
- Season: Lightly sprinkle the pork chops with coarse salt. If desired, you can also marinate them briefly in olive oil and chopped parsley, but the focus should remain on the sauce.
- Cook: In a skillet, cook the pork chops with a small amount of olive oil, searing them on each side until golden brown and cooked to your preference.
- Serve: Place the cooked pork chops on a serving plate and generously pour the creamy onion and almond sauce over them. Serve immediately.
