Honey & Mustard Pork Chops

I found this recipe from somewhere and made it for my boyfriend when I was going out for dinner one night as pork is my least favourite meat and we rarely eat it. He absolutely loved it and he is not usually a fan of sweet and savoury together.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon coarse grain mustard
• 1  teaspoon  runny honey
• 2  pork chops
• 50  g butter
• 1  red onion, halved and sliced
• 2  golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices
• 200  g new potatoes, lightly cooked and halved
• 1  teaspoon coarse grain mustard
• 6  shredded fresh sage leaves
• 3  finely chopped shallots
• 1  tablespoon green peppercorn
• 1  glass cider
• 100  ml  double cream

Directions

1. Mix the wholegrain mustard with the runny honey. Slice the back fat on the chops in three places to stop them curling, then slather liberally with the honey mustard.
2. Place then in a medium hot griddle pan and cook for six minutes each side.
3. In another pan melt a little butter and add the onions and apples and cook for two or three minutes.
4. Next add the potatoes and another teaspoon of mustard. The idea is to warm everything together. Just before serving add the sage and season.
5. Make the peppercorn sauce. In a hot pan place a knob of butter and allow it to foam.
6. Add the shallots and peppercorns and cook for a minute. Add a splash of cider and bring to the boil.
7. Add the double cream and cook until it thickens and colours. Season.
8. To serve, place the chop on the plate, pile apple and potatoes around and spoon over the sauce.
