Sauce Rob is a sauce around smoked bacon. So I have a beautiful Iberico pork chop here. I’m just going to season that liberally. Fat side down into the pan on a low heat. Obviously this chopper has got a lot of fat to render out. We have a lovely bayon ham here. You could just buy smoked streaky bacon from the supermarket and that will work just as well. Then I’m just going to lay these up nicely. Cut some nice lardon bayon ham into the pan. Caramelize and crisp that up on the side of the chop. So that’s about right. So it’s been about 2 minutes caramelizing on the ham there. Going to finally slice the onion so we have a little bit of texture in our finished sauce. Try and get them nice and even as possible so you get an even caramelization. The next thing I’m going to add in is a little bit of sliced garlic or knob of butter as well. Cool. So, my chop is now resting 8 to 10 minutes, about four minutes on each side with the pork. So, my onions are about ready now. And then we’re going to go in with a large glass of white wine. And then turn up the heat to reduce that down. Next, we’re going to go in with our stock. About a spoon and a half of mustard. I’m going to add our lemon juice to the mustard just to make a little slurry. The lemon juice, the red wine vinegar, the mustard is going to help to assigulate. Take a few spoons of sauce into the slurry, effectively tempering it. And then pour that mixture back into the sauce. Just ensures you don’t get any lumps with the mustard. Not going to add any salt. The crispy ham will add salt. Scatter that over. And then the last thing going to be my parsley. Pork with Robert sauce. Very rich, very meaty. Nice one, Rob. Mason.

  1. So many recipes require alcohol – while I personally don’t like the taste, I have a lot of friends and family who are sober religious and personal reasons…. Sometimes I wish they would suggest an alternative.
    Everything on this channel looks delicious and I keep coming back like a stalker

  2. I love the different guys in this kitchen but I wish this guy was a little more direct with temperatures and what he's doing. I know what he's doing but this channel is so great for learning if he could just explain to people to cuts he's doing and then also what temperature to cook the pork to in their restaurant. Very great channel, this dish looks amazing. Just guys are so incredibly gifted and serious about their work

  3. I prefer a fruit sauce for pork, the same kind you’d use for duck. I like a blackberry or raspberry sauce. Butter, shallots, garlic, herbs, balsamic, fig jam and of course, the berries of your choice. I pass it though a sieve to catch all of the seeds, but you don’t have to.

  4. Sauce robert is a classic for french bistrots.

    Usually goes with pork and offals.

    Pork kidneys in sauce robert used to be a cheap bistrot meal.
