About Delia's Baked Pork Chops

Asked on 21 May 2020 by Lit20

Hi Lindsay.
I made Delias pork chops with mushrooms and creme fresh and it did taste really good it didnt look like i expected. The creme fresh just sat on top so i gave it a stir 45 mins in and it all looked kind of curled. I used lower fat creme fresh so do you think that was the problem? I did check the recipe to see and it didnt say not to use reduced fat so im just curious.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello Adam,

This recipe has a tendency to split whatever cream you use. We just mix the juices together and serve even if they are not emulsified. Reduced fat crème fraiche is less likely to split as it generally contains a stabiliser. If you make it again with the same ingredients perhaps thin down the crème fraiche with a little milk and spread it out so it covers the surface of the chops.

I hope that helps.

Best wishes

Lindsey
