Grilled Serben Free Range Pork Chops, Freestone Peach & Prune Plum Compote, Rainbow Chard Risotto, Roasted Beets

Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Feeds: 4

Ingredients
Found at the City Market Downtown on 104th st.
4-6 Serben Free Range boneless centre cut pork chops
1 bundle Kuhlmann’s Market Gardens rainbow chard
4 pc. each Sundog Organic Farm’s Chioggia and golden beets
2 pc. Steve & Dan’s B.C. Fruit’s freestone peaches
12 pc. Steve & Dan’s B.C. Fruit’s prune plums
4 tbsp. Coal Lake Honey Farm’s honey

From my pantry
1 tbsp. minced shallots
1 tsp. minced ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 cup arborio rice
½ cup white wine
3 cups light stock, vegetable or chicken
1 bay leaf
¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. fresh basil
4 tbsp. fresh parmesan
4 tbsp. canola oil
2 tbsp. whole butter

For the Compote

  1. Preheat the grill
  2. Half the peaches and plums, remove the stone, then slice into wedges, keeping the peaches separate
  3. For added flavour, lightly grill the peaches, this should only take 2-3 minutes
  4. In a pot combine white balsamic and honey, allowing the honey to dissolve over medium heat
  5. Add the grilled peaches, and the plums, allow to cook until the fruit has softened, but try to keep the integrity of the fruit, 5-6 minutes
  6. Set aside to cool, once cool, add the chopped basil
For the Roasted Beets
  1. Place the beets in a medium pot of water, and cook until firm yet tender, 15-20 minutes
  2. Cool quickly, and then peel
  3. Cut into wedges, and place on baking pan
For the Risotto
  1. In a medium sauce pot, warm the canola oil, add the shallots, ginger and garlic
  2. Cook until translucent, but do not brown
  3. Add the rice, and coat evenly with the oil
  4. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and reduce
  5. Add the stock, ladle by ladle, stirring constantly to create a creamy, well cooked risotto, firm, yet tender
  6. Spread out on a baking pan to cool
At Dinner Time
  1. Warm up the grill, and then place the beets on the top rack to roast slowly
  2. Season the pork, and begin to cook until your liking, I recommend medium to medium well
  3. While the pork is cooking, heat up a medium sauce pot and lightly oil
  4. Saute the rainbow chard until tender, then add the risotto, and a small amount of stock or water to reheat
  5. Once the risotto reaches a nice creamy point, finish it with the parmesan and raw butter, stir in until creamy, adjust seasoning
  6. Put the dish together and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
