Directions
- 1
In a bowl, combine 2 crushed garlic cloves, lemon juice, vinegar, turmeric, dried herbs and salt. Add the pork chops, coat well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- 2
In the pressure cooker, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and remaining garlic clove until softened and lightly golden.
- 3
Stir in the Dijon mustard and ketchup, then quickly brown the marinated pork chops on both sides.
- 4
Pour in the remaining marinade, the diced tomato and water. Seal the pressure cooker lid securely.
- 5
Once the valve starts hissing, reduce to low heat and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally — do not force.
- 6
Once all steam has escaped, serve immediately or reduce the pan sauce uncovered over low heat to your preferred consistency.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a creamier sauce, stir in a tablespoon of sour cream or crème fraîche after reducing. This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen overnight.
