Saute coarsely chopped onion, shallot and
finely chopped garlic in butter and put this
preparation in a large casserole with fresh
thyme and bay leaves.
Dust the pork cheeks with flour, season with
pepper and salt and fry until golden brown on
all sides in hot butter. Put them in the
casserole. Pour veal stock and brown beer,
such as Trappist or Abbey beer, over them and
sprinkle them with mustard. The meat should
be completely submerged.
Leave to simmer without a lid for about 1 ½
hours until the cheeks are cooked. Finish the
sauce with honey and chopped basil. Use
sauce binder, only if absolutely necessary.
