Pork in pomegranate sauce in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To cook pork in pomegranate sauce in the oven, we will need: pork on the bone (I have already sliced 5-6 mm carbonade); vegetable oil for frying; ground black pepper and salt. You can also use spices for pork.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the pork on the bone, dry it. Lightly beat off with a hammer on both sides. At the same time, you should try not to separate the meat from the bones.

   Season the meat with salt and pepper.

   Transfer the chops to a foil-lined mold. Put in the oven and bake until the meat is ready for about 25 minutes at 180 ° C.

   Leave 1-2 tablespoons of pork fat in the pan. Drain all the remaining fat. I didn't have to drain anything, since there was little fat left after roasting. Pour pomegranate juice into the pan, add honey, balsamic vinegar and a sprig of rosemary. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove the pan from the heat.
