2 cloves of garlic, minced
60ml tomato sauce
45ml soy sauce
30ml sunflower oil
60ml sugar
10ml Worcestershire sauce
15ml apple cider vinegar
6 – 8 thick pork chops

Preheat your oven to 180℃ and line a roasting tin with baking paper.
Add the garlic, tomato sauce, soy, sunflower oil, sugar, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar to a small saucepan and place over a medium heat. Stir the sauce until the sugar has dissolved.
Turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer until reduced to a very thick sauce, stirring occasionally. (This should take 10 minutes or so)
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
Lay the chops in the prepared roasting tin and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Brush the chops with a generous amount of the sauce and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Flip the chops and brush with the remaining sauce.
Return the roasting tin to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes.
