Bacon Chops are an infrequent visitor to our plate, mostly because Sue isn’t keen really. But at 0.75p for two good sized boneless chops in the discounts they were bound to come home with me really.

So Sue went a bit “Chefy”!

Method:-

(1) Mix Soy Sauce, Black Pepper and Garlic to make a marinade and pop your Bacon Chops in it.

(3) Add Oil and Soy Sauce to a Wok or large frying pan.
(4) Put the Plum Sauce ingredients (See below) in a saucepan on a low heat. Stir occasionally.
(5) Heat the over to 180c and put the cubed Potatoes in.
(6) After 20 minutes heat your Wok / Frying pan and start by gently frying the Onion and Garlic.
(7) In a separate pan sear the Bacon chops in a little oil on both sides.
(8) Transfer the Bacon chops to the oven.

Plum Sauce ingredients:-

300g of frozen foraged Plums ( A punnet of red supermarket Plums will do the trick!)

1 tbsp Sugar

We’ve been growing micro salad which we scattered on top just to be a bit flash!
