Apple and cabbage go so well with pork, and in this recipe sweet sticky chops contrast beautifully with a crunchy apple, cabbage and sunflower-seed slaw. The secret to achieving a rich glossy finish on the grilled chops is to brush them often with a basting sauce flavoured with honey, soy sauce and Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One.

Ingredients

For the chops:

4 pork chops
30 ml (2 Tbsp) Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One
5 ml (1 tsp) Robertsons crushed garlic
125 ml (½ cup) tomato sauce
45 ml (3 Tbsp) honey
30 ml (2 Tbsp) soy sauce
45 ml (3 Tbsp) vegetable oil

For the slaw:

500 ml (2 cups) thinly sliced white cabbage
2 green apples
45 ml (3 Tbsp) sunflower seeds, toasted
30 ml (2 Tbsp) olive oil
45 ml (3 Tbsp) lemon juice
15 ml (1 Tbsp) wholegrain mustard
15 ml (1 Tbsp) honey
a pinch of Robertsons black pepper

Cooking Method

Preheat your grill to medium high.
Trim the pork chops and pat dry on kitchen paper.
Now make the basting sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the Robertsons Braai & Grill All-In-One, Robertsons Crushed Garlic, tomato sauce, honey and soy sauce. Set aside.
Drizzle the oil over the pork chops. Place the chops on the grill and sear quickly on both sides. Then start brushing the chops with the basting sauce, and grill them until cooked through but still juicy inside. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chops. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
For the slaw, put the cabbage into a large bowl. Slice the apples into slim sticks, slightly thicker than match sticks, and add them to the bowl with the cabbage. Add the sunflower seeds.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, wholegrain mustard and honey, and season to taste with Robertsons Black Pepper. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and apple and, using your hands, mix well, gently massaging the dressing in.
Serve the sticky pork chops hot with the refreshing slaw on the side.
