Mustardy Pork Apples Recipes

ROAST PORK WITH APPLES & MUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Core and cut the apples into wedges, then cook for about 10 mins until caramelised and softened. Remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the remaining oil. Fry the pork on each side for 2 mins. Add the stock and mustard to the pan, then bubble for 5 mins or until the pork is cooked through. Return the apples to the pan with the sage and cook for 1 min more.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche and some seasoning.

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the apples and onion in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower oven rack until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss together the panko, butter, whole-grain mustard, Dijon, thyme and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined (the breadcrumbs should hold together when squeezed). Season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering and very hot. Add the pork chops and cook, undisturbed, until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chops, then press some of the mustard-panko mixture onto the top of each chop. Transfer the saute pan to the upper rack of the oven and roast until the panko is browned and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the Swiss chard stems, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the chard leaves and chicken broth and continue to cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and the broth has almost completely evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the pork chops, apples and chard among 4 dinner plates. Spoon any pan juices from the chard over the vegetables and serve warm.

Transfer to a small flameproof roasting pan as browned (do not clean skillet) and roast pork until thermometer inserted diagonally at least 2 inches into meat registers 150°F, 40 to 50 minutes.
• While pork roasts, peel, quarter, and core apples, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then cook onion in skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add apples, prunes, broth, and water and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in cream and mustard and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and keep sauce warm, partially covered.
• Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Add wine to roasting pan and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir pan juices into cream sauce along with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper and heat sauce over moderate heat, stirring, until hot.
• Discard string from pork and cut each half crosswise into 4 slices. Serve pork with sauce.
