Lockdown recipes – Asian pork chop with kimchi coleslaw

We’re back with another delicious recipe that feeds the family, is quick to make and is mouth wateringly good. These addictingly sweet pork chops pack all the flavours of a classic Asian dish and are ready in just 30 minutes. Complimented by a kimchi coleslaw, this dish is rich in umami and will undoubtedly become a family favourite.

We paired this dish with a lovely biodynamic Nero di Troia from Puglia available from the Wine Alley for £9.  It’s a rich wine of dark plum flavours with spices, perfect with the little heat in the bbq sauce.

Our head chef, Josh Brook, talks through the recipe on Eliza Philippidis’ BBC Radio Guernsey show, and you can listen along at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p094bsz3 starting at 2hrs 20mins.
