Start by preparing the rhubarb, using 1 pound (about 450 grams) from the garden.
Place the rhubarb into a 3-quart saucepan with 1 cup (about 240 ml) of water.
Cook over medium-high heat until the rhubarb is soft.
Add the juice of half a lemon (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml) to the saucepan.
Pour in 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml) of extra virgin olive oil.
Crush 1 teaspoon of coriander seed and add it to the mixture.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and grind it in with the coriander.
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of alulos (or your favorite sweetener) and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper.
Smash or mince 3 cloves of garlic and add them to the saucepan.
Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Finely chop cilantro and dill, setting aside for later.
Pour the sauce into a blender, using a spoon to deflect hot spatter if necessary.
Blend the mixture on a low setting to maintain some texture.
Add the chopped herbs back into the blended sauce, adjusting the amount to taste.
Return the sauce to the stove and set to medium-low, stirring occasionally while finishing the pork chops.
Finish cooking the pork chops on the grill after sous-vide cooking, using a blowtorch for charring.
Serve the sauce in a small bowl for dipping, as it is very strong and should not be poured over the dish.
