At Ad Lib Bistro, Sawyere serves these pork cutlets with a veal jus. Veal jus is available from select butchers, but Sawyere says a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil makes a good substitute.
Ingredients
Calvados apple purée
Grilled leeks
Method
Main
1.Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, add shallot and ginger, stir occasionally until tender (2-3 minutes), add stock and pepperberries, simmer until a thick paste forms (2-3 minutes). Cool, brush onto pork cutlets and marinate for 1 hour.
2.Meanwhile, for Calvados apple purée, simmer Calvados in a saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half (1 minute), add apple juice and sugar, simmer until reduced by half (2-3 minutes). Add apple and butter, simmer until apple breaks down (5-6 minutes), then process in a food processor to a fine purée. Return to pan, cover and keep warm.
3.For grilled leeks, preheat a char-grill pan over high heat. Wrap leeks in foil and char-grill, turning occasionally, until tender (6-8 minutes). Remove foil, discard outer blackened layer of leeks, brush with extra-virgin olive oil, season to taste with smoked sea salt and char-grill until marked (1-2 minutes). Keep warm.
4.Grill cutlets, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (5-6 minutes), rest for 5 minutes then serve with warm Calvados apple purée and grilled leeks.
Native pepperberries and smoked sea salt are available from select grocers.
