Method

1. Pat the chops dry and rub each one with cranberry sauce, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper, set aside.

2. In a shallow pan melt the butter, and sauté the chops until well browned on each side, reduce the heat, add stock and cook on each side for 8 minutes, basting constantly with the pan juices and allowing the liquid to reduce to a syrup consistency.

3. Remove the chops from the pan, place on a warm plate, and scatter the sage leaves into the remaining pan juices and sauté for a minute, remove and place on the chops.

4. For the polenta wedges, heat the oven to 180°C, bring a large pot with 750ml water to the boil. Add the polenta, salt and butter and stir constantly until the mixture comes away from the side of the pot, about 10min, pour into a well-greased baking tray and bake for 10min, remove from the oven and cut into desired shapes.

To serve, place the polenta wedges on the plate with the pork chops and garnish with sage leaves.
