Pork

Herbed Fingerling Potatoes

Cauliflower Gratin

Grain Mustard Jus

Method

Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme on both sides.

  2. 2

    Pan-Roast the Pork

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Add garlic cloves to the skillet for the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Herbed Fingerling Potatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the fingerling potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise.

  2. 4

    Season and Roast

    Toss the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden.

Cauliflower Gratin

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Gratin

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, Gruyère cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Add the blanched cauliflower and mix until well coated.

  3. 7

    Bake the Gratin

    Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Grain Mustard Jus

  1. 8

    Prepare the Jus

    In the same skillet used for the pork, add chicken stock and grain mustard. Bring to a simmer and reduce the sauce for about 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Finish the Jus

    Whisk in butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
