Pork in pomegranate sauce in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To cook pork in pomegranate sauce in the oven we will need: pork on the bone (I already have carb cut into 5-6 mm slices)

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the pork on the bone and dry it. Lightly beat with a hammer on both sides. At the same time, you need to try to ensure that the meat does not separate from the bones.

3. STEP 3

   

   Salt and pepper the meat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Add the pork and fry over high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. If the oil splatters heavily, cover the pan with a lid.

   Place the chops in a pan lined with foil. Place in the oven and bake until the meat is cooked for about 25 minutes at 180°C.

   Sauce. To prepare the sauce we will need: pomegranate juice

7. STEP 7

   

   Leave 1-2 tbsp in the pan. l. fat from pork. Drain off all remaining fat. I didn’t have to drain anything, since there was little fat left after frying. Pour pomegranate juice into the pan, add honey, balsamic vinegar and a sprig of rosemary. Over medium heat, bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Strain the sauce through a sieve, thus removing the rosemary needles.
