Pork Chops With Brandied Peaches

Submitted by 2Bleu

"Haven't tried this one yet, but sounds really good. Please post a review and let me know. A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe."

Brandied peaches are a hard find so I followed Lushka's lead by brandying my own, which resulted in a delicious product. The curry is very prominent and next time I'd cut back by about half only in the sauce. It's a very exotic dish with a beautiful presentation worthy of making again. Made PRMR

Oh my goodness. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. I didn't use a particularly good quality of pork, and I couldn't find brandied peaches, so I used normal canned peaches and added about 100ml of brandy to them, leaving it over night. This was so good I can't even begin to explain... cooking the pork in the brandy sauce added an amazing flavour to it. I can't believe how simple this was for the flavour. Place this on a bed of rice or fettucini and it would make an awesome, delicious, and guest worthy meal. Five Stars 2Bleu. Reviewed for photo tag Winter 2008
