Rich Pork Chops

Pork chops with good amount of fat-5 pieces
olive oil-1 tbl sp
honey-a good drizzle
soy sauce-2 tbl sp
hoisin sauce-1 tbl sp
oyster sauce-2 tbl sp
tomato sauce-2 tbl sp
ginger and garlic paste (ground with cardamom,cinnamon,pepper,cloves and cumin seeds) 1 tbl sp
red wine-use half a glass or more(if the wine is not fit for drinking never waste it just add to the dish)
salt(optional)
a red chili masala(we got this special variety from Bombay with onion powder and a fantastic flavour but plain chili powder can be used)
red onions-4 medium ones sliced
fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Method
Mix all of the above ingredients together (except the onions and the red wine)and add to the pork chops.Marinate well and store in fridge for about six hours(this requires planning but half and hour will also do if greed gets the better of you)
heat a cooker on high and add a drop of oil.Sear the pork chops on high heat to seal in the juices and remove to a plate.Mix the sliced onions into the remaining marinade and fry in the remaining juices in the cooker.When nicely brown,return the pork chops to the cooker mix well,add the red wine and pressure cook for half an hour.
Serve garnished with fresh green coriander and steamed rice.
