Oh Dear !

It seemed like a good idea at the time - a simple recipe from the Internet to cook Pork Chops in Ginger Beer. So off I went to the local Co-op to buy the chops and an onion. Trouble is the recipe was too simple so when it said to "Brown the chop in a frying pan" I thought it meant to cook the chop so left it in for 15m until cooked through. Only found out later it meant to leave it in for a few seconds to just brown the surface :-(.
Then I improvised with a few extra ingredients including the obligatory leeks and left it all to cook for about 40 mins.

The recipe said to then remove all the ingredients and add cornflour to the remaining juice to make it into a sauce. How much cornflour and how does it magically turn into a sauce ? Fortunately The Consort was home by now and advised on what to do next and very helpfully pointed out what "Brown the chop in a frying pan" actually means,

Served it up and the taste was really impressive unlike the potatoes, carrots and leeks which were a bit on the hard side and the chop which was rather tough. So The Consort took the potatoes away to microwave to soften them up and we chewed and crunched our way through the meal. Hey ho - next time !
