Pork Chops with Bananas

Ingredients

Pork chops 4 or 6 per person

Bananas 2

Butter 1 tbsp

Peanut oil 1 tbsp

Rum 2 tbsp

Cayenne Pepper

Cream 1 cup (or 1 cup of stock)

  Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the pork chops lightly for 5 to 6 minutes on each side (make sure the pork is cooked right through – no pinkness at all).  Remove the pork from the saucepan and keep warm.  Pour off the excess fat and add butter. Cut the bananas lengthwise and place them in the saucepan to brown on both sides.  To make the sauce: pour the cream or stock into the frypan, add the rum, bring it to the boil then reduce and season.  Place the pork chops on the plate, garnish with the bananas, and pour the sauce over the top.  Serve with mashed potatoes and peas.

(Apples can be used instead of bananas)
