Latvian Pork Chops (Karbonade)

Latvian Pork Chops (Karbonade)

Around the World for £4 or less took us to Latvia for “L” yesterday evening. The following is certainly not traditional, Sue though the recipe was a bit boring so she added her unique twist. We probably went over budget as well, but the Karbonade was a meal on its own without crispy frying the Pork and certainly without the giant Yorkshire pudding!
 
Ingredients:-
 
4 Pork Chops, cut into strips
Spring Cabbage, sliced
1 Carrot, cut into batons
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Onion, chopped
Mushrooms, chopped
Single Cream
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Dill
 
Method:-
 
(1) Season the Pork with Salt & Pepper.
(2) Heat Oil on a medium heat.
(3) Put flour (We used Gluten Free) on a plate
(4) Beat the Eggs in a bowl.
(5) Dredge the Pork in flour and then Egg.
(6) Fly for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and set aside.
(7) Return the pan a medium heat, add Onions and cook until softened.
(8) Add chopped mushrooms, Carrot and Cabbage, stirring occasionally.
(9) Add Cream and cook for a further 2 minutes.
(10) Stir in the Lemon juice and Dill
(11) Season to taste with Salt and Pepper.
 
We served our Karbonade I a giant Yorkshire Pudding with the crispy fried Pork over the top. Traditional? I suspect not in the slightest!

A sort of Carbonara thing, eat well on universal credit

We’re avoiding Lactose at the moment as it’s causing Sue issues. So this recipe is far from traditional. But it was really tasty.

Ingredients:-

475g of Inner Breast fillets, cut in half
1 Small Onion,diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
200ml of Chicken Stock
3 Tbsp of Yogurt
5 Mushrooms, sliced
A handfull of Spinach Leaves
A dish of White Wine
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp of Italian style Crated Hard Cheese
Fresh Parsley to garnish
Bacon & Cheese seasoning to garnish
Pasta of your choice (Gluten free for us)
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion and Garlic until softened.
(2) Add the Chicken and fry until it is cooked through, stirring as required.
(3) Add the Mushrooms and Spinach, season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Boil the Pasta until it still has a little bite, drain and set aside.
(5) Add the Wine & Stock and allow to simmer.
(6) Stir in the Yogurt and half of the grated hard Cheese.
(7) Allow to simmer for a few more minutes.
(8) Stir in the Pasta over a low heat, until it is heated through.
(9) Garnish with the remaining grated hard Cheese, Parsley and Cheese & Bacon Seasoning.

We generally make our own seasoning mixes but the Cheese & Bacon seasoning was really good. The taste of Bacon in a jar!
