Raspberry+mint omnomnom sauce


























Succulent pork chops with raspberry+mint omnomnom sauce (I don't know what kind of sauce it was, so I've invented a new kind), home made french fries, and organic broccoli.

For a Jew, I make a damn fine pork chop.

raspberry+mint "omnomnom" sauce
You will need:
4 tbsp Lucini Fig & Walnut dressing (also amazing marinade for pork chops)

6 oz. organic raspberries
1 tsp white sugar or some form of granulated sugar substitute (do your tongue a flavor and avoid anything that has aspartame in it)
Generous sprinkling of Coriander
Light sprinkling of Basil
15 to 20 Mint leaves (chopped or torn, your choice)
Dash of salt

Combine dressing and 3 oz of raspberries in a small metal (no teflon) frying pan, set on low-medium heat, and mash raspberries with a fork. Add sweetener and spices, stir, add mint leaves and reduce heat to low. Cover for about 3-5 minutes (you're not really cooking it, you're heating it). Meanwhile, partially mash up some of the remaining raspberries, leaving others whole. Add salt and remaining berries, stir and allow to simmer for a couple more minutes.

Once sauce is ready, pile on top of pork chops (or adequate meat substitute) and serve.
