Name: Pork chops in beer with kapia peppers: juicy meat in a rich beer sauce
Prep time: 80 min
Cook time: 80 min
Total time: 80 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 6 pork chops (with bone or boneless); 3 red kapia peppers; 1 large red onion; 4 cloves of garlic; 50 g bacon; 300 ml light beer; 250–300 ml good-quality ketchup; salt; freshly ground black pepper; crushed caraway; oil for frying

Lightly pound the chops, score the sides so they don't curl during baking. Season with salt and pepper and let rest briefly.

Heat oil in a pan and sear the chops quickly on both sides. The aim is to seal the meat, not to cook it through. Transfer them to a baking dish along with the drippings.

Spread ketchup over the chops and sprinkle with crushed caraway. Add slices of bacon, the onion cut into rings, garlic and pieces of kapia pepper. Pour the beer over everything.

Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 180–190 °C. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, basting the meat several times with the juices that form during baking.

Towards the end of baking you can uncover the dish so the sauce reduces slightly and acquires a darker color.
