Baked Ultimate Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce, Mash & Green Beans

Ingredients

    Fresh & Mains

    • 4-5 pork chops
    • 1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped
    • 300g green beans, trimmed
    • Butter and a splash of milk (for the mash)

    Pantry Staples

    • 2 tsp Ultimate Pork spice blend
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
    • 150ml double cream (or crème fraîche)
    • 150ml chicken or vegetable stock
    • 100ml dry cider
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    For Garnish & Serving

    • A scatter of fresh parsley over the chops

    Directions

    1. Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan). Pat the pork chops dry and dust both sides with the Ultimate Pork blend and a little salt.
    2. Add the chopped potatoes to a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, and simmer 15-18 minutes until tender.
    3. Heat the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops 1-2 minutes per side to colour, then transfer to the oven for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Lift onto a plate to rest.
    4. Put the same skillet back on the hob. Pour in the cider and let it bubble for a minute, scraping up the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, let it reduce slightly, then stir in the mustard and cream. Simmer 2-3 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Season to taste.
    5. Mash the drained potatoes with butter, a splash of milk and seasoning. Cook the green beans in boiling water 3-4 minutes until just tender, then drain.
    6. Plate the chops with the mash and green beans, and spoon the sauce generously over the top.
