Recipe: Kassler Chops with Ginger & Honey Glaze

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

 • 4 Kassler Chops

 • 2 tbsp Honey

 • 4 tbsp Soy Sauce

 • 40g Fresh Ginger (peel and grate finely)

 • 100g Green Beans (trim off ends and cut in half)

 • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil

 • 1/2 Cabbage (sliced finely)

 • 4 Courgettes (trim off ends and slice finely (3mm))

 • Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper (from your pantry)

Method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven grill. Place the oven rack one setting higher than the middle of the oven.

Step 2

Place the chops in a roasting pan or large casserole dish (they must not overlap). Mix the honey, ginger and soy in a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Pour mixture over the Kassler chops and turn chops to coat in the sauce.

Step 3

Grill chops for 20 minutes, turning and basting with the sauce every 3 to 4 minutes. When done, remove chops and set them aside to rest.

Step 4

Prepare the beans, cabbage and courgettes as indicated above.

Step 5

Heat a glug of olive oil and the sesame oil in a large saucepan on medium to high heat. Add the green beans, cabbage and courgettes and stir fry (stir frequently) until they are just tender, but still a little crunchy, about 5 or 6 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Step 6

To serve, pile the stir-fried veggies onto the plates and top with a Kassler chop. Drizzle over any remaining pan juices from the chops.
