Equipment

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 90°C and the water bath to 64°C

To begin, prepare the candied tomatoes. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, refresh in iced water then peel away the skins. Keeping whole, dry out in the oven for 90 minutes
3
To cook the beans, place everything in a pan and cover with the water or stock. Simmer for 40 minutes, or until tender. Allow the beans to cool in the liquor
4
Place each pork chop in an individual vacuum bag and add a dash of oil, a strip of lemon zest, a clove of garlic and pinch of salt to each one. Seal in a bar sealer, place in the water bath and cook for 45 minutes
5
To make the liquor for the tomatoes, bring all of the ingredients to the boil and add the tomatoes. Reduce until glazed
6
Remove the pork chops from the bags, pat dry and barbecue or chargrill the chops over a high heat for a beautifully golden exterior
7
Bring the beans up to heat with some of the braising liquor and add lots of fresh parsley and basil. Finish with lemon juice and the tomato chopped into 4 large pieces. Season well with large glugs of olive oil
8
Serve the pork chops with the borlotti beans and candied tomatoes
