Brine the chops

Take a bowl and dissolve salt and sugar in 1 cup of boiled water. Add garlic cloves, bay leaf and a tray of ice cubes. Stir until ice has melted. Place pork chops into a small plastic container that snuggly fits the chops. Pour brine over pork chops so they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Cook the chops

Preheat oven to 200°C.

Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry. Place an oven proof pan on the stove at high heat. Add a tablespoon of cooking oil and sear the pork chops for 3 minutes per side until golden. Add a pat of butter and scatter with sage leaves. Brush the top with teaspoon Jenny’s Kitchen Tamarind Chutney and then place the pan in the oven for 6-10 minutes until cooked through (depending on thickness).

Serve with your favourite sides.
