- 2 150g pork loin chops
- Several cloves of garlic

- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Better than Bouillon
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 600 g cabbage
- 300 g carrots
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sous vide pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic and thyme at 60C/140F for 90 minutes.
- 40 minutes before serving, start preheating the oven to 230C/450F with a foil-lined baking tray inside.
- Peel and roughly chop the carrot. Slice cabbage into thick wedges, leaving the core intact.

- After the halfway flip, remove the pork chops from the sous vide water bath. Pat dry, and sear on all sides.
- Deglaze the pan with the juices and aromatics in the sous vide bag, and stir in a teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon. Taste and adjust for seasoning, thickening with a corn starch slurry if desired.
- Assemble and serve.
