Spending the day restoring and reinstalling programs on a new computer doesn’t mean we go hungry around here. Nope. Not us. The web will wait There’s food to be consumed!
I do have to admit I did about the easiest meal I could thing of, though! Pan-fried pork chops (I really do need to get some gas for the grill!) finished in the oven.
Just as they were done, I put the pan back on the stove and added a hefty splash of brandy, cooked it down for a moment, and then added a couple of tablespoons of apricot preserves. It coated the chops nicely and gave it that sweet and savory flavor I like so well.
The broccolini was steamed and then drizzled with lemon balsamic vinegar and the potatoes were oven-roasted for about 30 minutes (at 375°) with herbs d’Provence and a bit of olive oil.
From start-to-finish, it took about 45 minutes of cutting, prep, and cooking. Most of it was done in the oven, so I could continually check on file transfers.
I can see variations on this happening for a while! Soy sauce mixed with those preserves… Or balsamic vinegar…
Definitely some variations…
