Ingredients

  • pieces Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 600 g Meat, pork, neck

  • 100 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • pieces Cucumbers, sour

  • 5 spoon Pizza sauce

  • 100 ml Water

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Wash the pork chops and dry them well with paper towels. Lightly season both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper.

  2. Cut the bacon into slices. Peel the onion and garlic and chop them separately into pieces. Also chop the pickles into pieces.

  3. Heat oil in a pan and brown the seasoned chops on both sides. Remove the cooked chops from the pan and keep them covered on a warm plate.

  4. Add the bacon and onion to the pan where the meat was cooked. Fry them while stirring until the onion turns yellow, then add the garlic and fry everything together for another minute.

  5. Add the chopped pickles and ajvar, then pour in about 100 ml of water. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan well to release all the caramelized bits that formed during frying. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and optionally add a bit of ground chili or cayenne pepper. Let the sauce simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until it thickens. If desired, return the cooked chops to the pan and let them simmer a bit more in the sauce.

  6. Once the sauce thickens, serve it together with the cooked chops on plates. Serve the prepared dish with your chosen side.

Advice

If we use ajvar, which is already slightly sour, for the preparation of the sauce, we omit the addition of pickles. Instead of ajvar, we can also use pinjur and lutenica. If desired, we can also mix in 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream (in this case, omit the addition of pickles).
