Rhubarb and Pork Chop Casserole
Method
A traditional British recipe from celtnet.org.uk
Although it's cooked like a fruit and is typically used in sweet dishes rhubarb is actually a vegetable (being he stem of a plant). This wonderful dish treats rhubarb like the vegetable it is, using it as the basis for a casserole. Rhubarb, being tart, actually complements the inherent sweetness of pork very well.
Add a little oil to a frying pan and fry the pork chops until golden. Season with pepper and set aside to keep warm. Add water to the pan to make any drippings up to 60 mil and combine this with the breadcrumbs. Reserve 80g and sprinkle the remaining onto the base of an oiled baking dish (about 30 x 22 x 5cm).
Mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and rhubarb. Spoon half this mixture over the breadcrumbs in the baking dish then arrange the pork chops on top. Spoon the remaining rhubarb mixture on top hen cover with a lid or foil and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Bake for about 40 minutes then uncover and sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs on top.
Return to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes before serving.
