Pork chops with creamy mustard mash and apple – what's not to love about this indulgent weeknight dinner for two? Perfect for impressing a loved one.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 pack of 2 Wicks manor pork chops
250 ml chicken stock
2 heaped tbsp soured cream / full-fat crème fraiche
15g butter
1 pink lady apple, cut horizontally to give 1/2cm round slices. Remove any seeds with a knife tip.
1 heaped tbsp wholegrain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Rapeseed oil or equivalent
Mashed potato and cooked savoy cabbage to accompany.
Method
- Heat large heavy-based, non-stick pan over a medium- high heat.
- Oil and season the chops and place in the hot pan.
- Cook for 2 minutes on each side plus another 2 minutes on the fat edge to ensure the chops are beautifully browned. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate under foil.
- Wipe the pan of any blackened bits, drizzle with a little oil and melt in 15g of butter over a medium heat.
Once foaming, add the apple slices and cook for 2 ½ minutes per side until softened and golden, but still retaining a little bite. Remove from the pan and add to the pork. - Add the chicken stock, sour cream / crème fraiche and mustard to the pan and whisk until blended. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork to the pan and simmer uncovered for a further 5 minutes, turning the chops once halfway through, until the meat is just cooked. Do not overcook the pork as it may turn tough. - Transfer the chops to plates, pour over the sauce and add the apple slices.
Serve with mashed potato and cooked savoy cabbage.
