Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

6 garlic cloves

3 tablespoons black peppercorns

2 tablespoons olive oil

four 1¼-inch-thick frenched veal rib chops (each about 12 ounces)

1 bacon slice

1 shallot

½ cup dry red wine

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup pomegranate juice (You can use fresh juice from 2 large pomegranates -- run them through a juicer -- or take the easier route and purchase bottled juice (which is available at most natural foods stores.

2 cups beef or veal stock

Directions

Finely chop thyme and garlic and coarsely crush peppercorns.

In a small bowl stir together thyme, garlic, peppercorns, and oil and rub over chops. Chill chops, covered, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Separately chop bacon and shallot. In a heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until browned.

Add shallot and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Add wine and boil until reduced to about 2 Tbsp.

Add tomato paste and pomegranate juice and boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about ⅔ cup.

Add stock and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup.

Heat a lightly oiled ridged grill pan over moderate heat until hot. Season chops with salt and grill 3 minutes on each side, or until browned.

Transfer chops to a baking pan and bake in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 140 F., 15 to 20 minutes for medium.

Reheat sauce and serve with chops.

This sounds great! I love pomegranates. And if you eat them, you'll live for a thousand years. But the veal....

I would like to try your recipe. I have never tried anything with pomegranate. Can you pls tell me if I can use dried thyme (as I cannot find fresh one) and can I do this with other kind of meat? Thanks

I don't see any reason why you can't use dried thyme if fresh isn't available. It's not really going to affect the dish all that much. This recipe would probably work with pork chops as well.
