Pork Chops with Spiced Red Cabbage

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 4 pork chops
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp veg oil
  • For the Cabbage
  • 1 lime, juice only
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp grated galangal
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 tbsp Thai fish sauce
  • 2 green chillies, chopped
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp roasted peanuts
  • Bunch of basil
  • 3 shredded mint leaves
  • 1 red cabbage, sliced
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Heat up a griddle pan, add the oil, and season the chops well. Cook until bar marks appear on the meat, then transfer to the oven for 5 mins (or until cooked through).
  • Make the cabbage by placing all ingredients, minus the cabbage, in a pestle and mortar. Pound to make a chunky paste. Place the cabbage into a large bowl, pour the paste over the cabbage and lightly mix. Serve by dividing the cabbage between 4 serving plates, and finish with the pork chops.
