Duroc Pork Chop* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Romanesco

   Cut the romanesco into florets and blanch in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Reserve the bacon fat.

3. 3

   Sear the Pork Chops

   In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked to desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

4. 4

   Make the Creamed Leeks

   In the remaining bacon fat, add sliced leeks and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in heavy cream and goat cheese, and cook until creamy. Crumble the cooked bacon into the mixture, and season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Plate the Dish

   On each plate, layer the creamed leeks, top with seared pork chop, and arrange the blanched romanesco. Drizzle hot lemon honey over the top before serving.
