Pork and Politics

Ok... So I've been sick... I couldnt leave the bed, Doc's Orders (bleh)...

Today i felt good enough to get out of bed, and actually Cook something!!
I used Porkchops, 'cause they are really cheap in here, plus they taste pretty good with almost anything.

In Venezuela, pork is a very popular meat, at christmas time, is regular to see pork at the table. And these days is even more popular than chicken, because there has been some movements from the government to close private companies and those includes food companies... Poultry specially, and if you want to buy chicken, you'll probably find it frozen or imported, which we are not used to... it pretty sucks 'cause i looooooooove chicken!!

Ok... so... Here's the recipe, and hey... i made it up... it probably is in some cooking books, but those are waaaaaay too expensive in my country, so... I have to be inventive!

For 1 person.. 'cause i cook for myself... no one ates lunch at home anymore, and it is kinda uncommon to eat heavy at dinner, but i guess that you can double the recipe... i'll have to try it at home soon.

1 Porkchop cut in dices.
1 Spoon of Mustard.
1 Spoon of Honey.
1 Spoon of Vinegar.
1 teaspoon of Sugar.
Pepper
Sal
1/4 Onion Chopped any way you like.
1 teaspoon of butter.


Melt the butter and add the onion, cook it until the onion gets transparent. Add the porkchop, and stir, try to get the porkchop well cooked, but not burned! So i'd recommend medium temperature. While you cook your pork chop, in a cup mix all the other ingredients, then add to the pork, stir it well, Lower your fire and stir well.... when you see the sauce changing to a golden color, take out of the fire. Serve. Pretty easy, huh?

This dish is perfect with some smashed potatoes and green salad.

See you soon!
