Ingredients:
2 Mangalica pork tomahawk (~400-500g per chop)
1L water (divided into 500-500ml portions)
500g ice
1 bay leaf
1 tsp black peppercorns
30g salt
1 sprig rosemary (4 inches)
Rind from 1 lemon
Rind from 1 orange
Balsamic berries sauce:
¼ cup blackberries
¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup raspberries
Juice from ½ lemon
1 tbsp sugar
(Mercerate berries in lemon juice and sugar for 30 minutes.)
Balsamic vinegar
Prepare the brine:
Fill pot with 500ml water and simmer bay leaf, black peppercorns, salt, rosemary, lemon and orange rinds for 10 minutes.
Add the remaining 500ml water and 500g of ice cubes to cool the brine down.
Submerge the tomahawk chops in brine and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Reverse sear the chops:
Pat the brined chops dry and place them on a rack.
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F).
Bake the chops for 20 minutes.
Heat a stainless steel or cast iron pan without any oil.
Sear the chops for 2 minutes per side, starting with the fat cap.
Baste the chops with their own rendered fat.
Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Make the sauce:
Pour any excess oil from the pan into a bowl (reserve it for another recipe if desired).
Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, adding enough to cover the bottom.
Add the mercerated berries (berries that have been softened in the lemon juice and sugar) and simmer gently until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Serve:
Slice the tomahawk chops and arrange them on a plate.
Drizzle them with the balsamic berries sauce.
Garnish with fresh berries and rosemary sprigs.
Enjoy with your favourite sides! 🍽️✨
