25 g + 1 tablespoon butter
3 discs (approx. 100 g) Sourdough bread
6 Stem(s) flat leaf parsley

4 organic pork chops with fillet (approx. 200 g each)
3 TABLESPOONS Oil
75 g Sugar
2-3 TABLESPOONS Lemon juice

Directions

1
Clean the carrots, possibly leaving some green. Peel and wash the carrots, depending on their size, possibly cut them in half lengthwise. Form the dumpling dough into a roll (3-4 cm Ø) and pluck approx. 16 dumplings with your hands.
2
For the crust, melt 25 g butter. Finely crumble the bread. Wash parsley, shake dry, chop. Chop the pistachios finely. Whisk the eggs. Mix with bread, parsley and pistachios. Pour butter over them and mix everything well.
3
Season with salt and pepper.
4
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash the meat and pat dry. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Fry the meat for about 2 minutes on each side.
5
Season with salt and pepper. Place on the baking tray. Spread the bread-pistachio mixture evenly over the meat. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, caramelise the sugar in the pot at low to medium heat. Deglaze with 300 ml boiling water and lemon juice. Bring to the boil, add the carrots and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
7
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Fry the dumplings in portions until golden brown, turning them over. Serve everything.
