Nigella’s Mustard Pork chops!

 

Just orgainsing next week’s menu plan and as I got Nigella’s book , Nigella Express for Christmas from my fab hubby, I thought that I would try Nigella’s pork chops for tea next week.  I like gnocchi, but I always wonder what to cook it with!!

Pork chops in cider and mustard sauce served with gnocchi
-2 pork chops boned-in, put in plastic bag, use rolling pin to pound the meat (apparently not for tenderizing purposes but just to make it thinner and thus easier to cook),

heat oil and pan-fry for 5 mins each side, remove from pan and put on plate

-to make the sauce: keep pork juice in pan, add 125ml of cider, 1 full tbsp grain mustard,  75 ml of double cream, stir well

when done pour some on top of the pork chops

-cook gnocchi in boiling water for 5 mins until they float on top of water, then put into pan to coat with remaining sauce and serve

  2. Yum!
    These have become a staple for us, especially as it means I have half a bottle of cider to glug while I’m cooking.
