One of my goals for my "vacation" is to not only cook more but to try new recipes. I finally had a chance to do just that.The dish I tried was Sauteed Pork Chops with Sherry-Berry Pan Gravy, Rhubarb Chutney courtesy of Rachel Ray's 30 Minutes Meals show on the Food Network.
I have never knowingly eaten rhubarb and I wasn't real excited to try it. While chopping, it emitted an odor that was not very pleasant. And I can't say, that after trying this, I'll ever jump at another chance to eat rhubarb. Even Alex left it for last when I gave her my dish to clean up. She eventually ate it all. But with every bite she gave me a "What is this shit??" look.
The pork chops, on the other hand, were great. This was also the first time I have cooked with cherry. And the cherry-berry gravy had just the right sweet/buttery flavor to complement the chops.
So, I'll definitely make the pork chops again. But I'll leave the rhubarb for others to "enjoy".
