Method
- Heat a pan with olive oil and add the fresh sage leaves.
- Sear the pork chops in the hot pan and cover with a lid.
- Turn the pork on each side to achieve an even golden char.
- In a sauce pan add the frozen mixed berries and sugar.
- Let the berries defrost and cook down until thickened into a jam-like sauce.
- Once cooked, transfer the pork chops onto a grill or plate to rest briefly.
- Plate the pork chops and spoon the berry sauce over the top.
- Finish with a small piece of brie cheese and extra black pepper if desired.
For this recipe I used a non-stick pan, which helps prevent sticking and gives a smooth sauce.
