Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped |
1 stick butter |
2 pears, sliced |
peppered pork, recipe follows |
caramelized onions, recipe follows |
rosemary potatoes, recipe follows |
Directions:
1. Combine the sugar, vanilla bean and butter in a medium sized saute pan over medium heat. Cook until the butter melts and the sugar is golden. Add the pear slices to the pan and cook until tender. Remove the pears from the pan and set aside. Reserve the sauce in the pan for the pork marinade.
2. Peppered Pork:
3. 2 cups chicken stock
4. 4 medium pork chops
5. Black pepper, coarsely ground
6. 8 ounces cream cheese
7. 8 ounces Stilton cheese
8. Pour approximately 2 cups of chicken stock into the pan of reserved pear sauce. Over medium heat, reduce the liquid by 1/2. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Marinate the pork chops in the liquid for 1 hour. Remove the chops from the marinade and coat each side with coarsely ground black pepper.
9. In a separate medium sized saute pan, pan-sear the pork chops on 1 side for 5 minutes, turn and sear the other side for about 3 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
10. While the pork chops are cooking, combine cream cheese and Stilton in a medium sized mixing bowl. Cream the cheeses together with a hand blender until they are combined. Once the pork chops are thoroughly cooked, liberally spread the cheese on top of each piece. Serve with pears, caramelized onions and rosemary potatoes.
