Stew them both in a heavy sauté pan until soft and transparent. Peel and chop the garlic very thinly as well. Peel and slice the two onions very thinly.After this time, remove the peppers, remove the blackened skin, cut open and remove the seeds and then cut the flesh into long thin strips. Tie a knot in the bag and leave for 20 minutes. Char the peppers on an open flame until blackened all over and place in a plastic bag together with the also charred chilli.This makes quite a lot of peperonata and half can be kept back and stored in the fridge for a week. If cut thinner, they will need a much shorter cooking time. The pork chops must be thick cut and, needless to say, of excellent quality. Being a techie, he loved it, of course, but even he was remarkably cautious in recommending it, asserting it was not for the dabbler but only the most dedicated practitioner.
#Cooking light recipe pork chop suey how to#
I was intrigued to read Jonathan Margolis’s review of a home vacuum pack and water bath kit in How to Spend It a couple of weeks ago. One of my objections to this sort of cookery is that it is so removed not just from the source but also from any kind of home cooking. It would appear that the next generation of “chefs” – and don’t imagine Heston is the only one deploying these methods: they are all at it – will resemble characters from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and they won’t know the difference between a pork chop, chopped liver or chop suey. He or she is an operative, trained in the knowledge of how to put something in a bag and when to take it out again. Unfortunately the person who performs this task is no longer a cook. When you put this sort of thing in the hands of someone like Heston, of course, you will get something a great deal better than that. With a little legerdemain at the last minute, putting it in a frying pan for 30 seconds or blasting it with a blowtorch, you will get a pretty good simulacrum of a conventionally cooked piece of meat.
Granted, you can teach an idiot to vacuum pack a pork chop and to put the thing in a water bath for three hours and 42 minutes at 59C and you will get a perfectly cooked piece of meat.
