- Prepare the Pomegranate Marinade: In a saute/fry pan, heat the oil. Add in the chilies and cook for 15 seconds. Transfer to a deep casserole, and add in the rest of the ingredients.
- Place the pork rack in the marinade and let it marinade for 3 hrs, refrigerated. Remove the pork from the marinade. Season with the salt and pepper. Divide the marinade into 2 portions. Reserve.
- In saute/fry pan, over high heat, add in the extra virgin olive oil and 1 oz of butter. Sear pork till golden brown. Transfer to a preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 20 min, basting with half of the reserved marinade every 5 min. Cook till the thermometer inserted into the rack reads 150 to 160 degrees. Allow to rest for 10 min before slicing into chops.
- Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, bring the remaning half marinade to a boil and reduce till thickned. Strain. Whisk in 4 ounces of butter. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Reserve.

- Comments:This recipe has a wonderful complex flavor. Hidden in the marinade you combine fruit, garlic and chili which go great with bacon from the braised greens. I also like the Asian influence from the soy and ginger. This is a knockout of a dish.
