Pan Fried Pork Chop With Sage And Apple Mash Recipes

SAGE RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the 3 teaspoons of the fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let the chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion, apple and cabbage and julienne the carrots (very thin sticks).
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove.
• Carefully wipe out the pan. Heat the remaining teaspoon oil over moderate heat and add the onion, apples and remaining teaspoon fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, carrots, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking until the cabbage and carrots begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and return the pork chops to the pan burying them in the vegetable mixture. Cover and cook just until the pork chops are just slightly blush in the center, 5 to 7 minutes longer.
• To serve, arrange the warm slaw on individual plates and top with a pork chop and pan juices.

PAN-FRIED PORK CHOP WITH SAGE AND APPLE MASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a small ovenproof frying pan and season the chop on both sides. Hold the chop in the pan with tongs, skin-side down, for about 5 minutes to help crisp up the skin and render some fat.
• Once the fat is browned, fry the chop for 3 minutes on each side until just golden. Add 4 sage leaves to the pan, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 5-6 minutes until the sage leaves are crisp and the chop is just cooked through (just over 60°C in the centre on a digital thermometer or when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer). Set aside for the chop to rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop the remaining 2 sage leaves. Put them in a small pan with a lid, along with the chopped apple and potato. Add the milk and just enough water to cover, then put the lid on and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the apple and potato are soft. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid, then return the apple, potato and sage to the pan and mash until smooth. Mix in the crème fraîche and just enough reserved cooking liquid to give a smooth consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the chop, mash, crispy sage leaves and steamed kale with wholegrain mustard and the chop's cooking juices spooned over the top.

Season with salt and pepper and stir in the cider.
• Return the chops to the skillet. Cover and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. Return the potatoes to the pan; add the buttermilk and mash, adding cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pork chops, onion and apples. Drizzle with the pan juices.
