A little recipe dedication this evening to one of our favourite chefs Jane Wilson. She wrote to tell us how much she’d been enjoying her boxes and she’d love to see some more pork chops on the menu. Apparently her secret to perfect chops is an inexpensive meat thermometer to take the guesswork out of proceedings - we couldn’t agree more!

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cut leek and onion
1

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees and boil a pot of water. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes the size of golf balls, cut the top and bottom from the leek and slice it in half lengthways. Slice each half lengthways again into 3 pieces. Now shred the leek widthways and thinly slice the onion.

2

Cook the potatoes in the boiling water with ½ tsp of salt for 20 minutes. Fry the onions in a non-stick pan on medium-low heat with 2 tsp of olive oil, a tsp of butter (if you have it), a pinch of sugar (if you have some), salt, pepper and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Simmer the onion mixture for 20 mins.

3

In a separate pan, cook off the leeks on high heat with a couple of tsp of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Once they have wilted (after about 4 or 5 mins), take them off the heat and leave them to the side.

Cook pork chops
4

Rub ½ tsp of olive oil over each pork chop and season them with salt and pepper. Cook in a nonstick pan on searingly high heat for one minute on each side and one further minute standing on its rind (for a nice crisp edge).

Bake chops and rosemary
5

Transfer the chops to a baking tray and cover them with a few sprigs of rosemary. Put them in the oven on the middle shelf and cook them for 12 mins, which should leave them nice and juicy inside. Once they are done, rest them for 5 mins out of the oven.

6

Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly. Heat the milk in the microwave or on the hob and stir it into the potatoes, together with 2 tsp of butter (if you have some) and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Now stir in the leeks. Tip: Add more milk if you want lighter mash

Make the gravy
7

Now for your gravy! Mix 1 tsp of cornflour with 2 tbsp of water to make a smooth paste. Add 200ml of water and half the chicken stock pot to the onions and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornflour mixture and simmer until it thickens, before turning off the heat.

8

To serve, simply top your mashed potato with the pork chops and pour over some gravy.
