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!

We really enjoyed this. It was lighter than some of the recent Indian dishes we’ve experimented with and really fragrant.

Salt to season

Masala Sauce

2 Green Chillies, sliced
2 Onions, made into a paste
1 Tsp of Ginger and Garlic Paste

390ml of Passata
1 Tsp of Chilli Powder
2 Tsp og Coriander Powder
½ A Tsp of Garam Masala
2 Tbsp of Yogurt
Oil to fry
Fresh Coriander leaves to garnish

Method:-

(1) Mix the Fish with the Ginger & Garlic paste,Turmeric, Chilli Powder, Salt and Yogurt.
(2) Place in the fridge to marinade for 30 minutes.
(3) Heat the Oil on a medium heat and fry the Fish on both sides until lightly browned.
(4) Set aside.
(5) Heat Oil in a pan and add the Green Chillies.
(6) Stir in the Onion paste and add the Ginger & Garlic paste.

We served ours with boiled Rice, home made Onion Bhaji, home fried Popadums and Indian style dips. The Fish was £2 from the yellow sticker fridge. So this was actually a very low cost and extremely tasty dinner.
