DRY-AGED KORBUTA PORK CHOP
With burnt pear, salted turnip & hot mustard.

“We dry-age the whole loins for 7–10 days before portioning into chops and marinating them in fermented onion, allspice, black pepper, brown sugar and lime.

Grilled to order, the marinade caramelises over the flames, enhancing the pork and cutting through its rich, natural fat.” - Head Chef Jarrod Walsh
