PISTACHIO-CRUSTED PORK WITH PLUM SAUCE AND FRIED LEEKS
Here's an impressive dish that looks like you spent all day preparing it. It's especially deceiving because you can make the sauce 3 days ahead. It's from the Garden Restaurant at the Gatwick Airport Hilton Hotel in London. Be sure to have your oil hot when making the crispy leeks, otherwise they can get soggy.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; cook in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir the garlic in the skillet just until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and cloves; bring to a boil. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves; add the plums. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and the plums are very soft, about 45 minutes. Mash the plums with a potato masher to an applesauce-like texture. Place the pork chops back into the pan and cook in the sauce until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop should read 145 degrees (63 degrees C).
