Ingredients

400g pack 2 Essential British Pork Chops
2 red-skinned apples, such as Braeburn, cut into wedges and cored
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp clear honey
3 sprig/s rosemary, roughly chopped, plus a few leaves to serve
450g pack carrot, swede & potato mash, warmed, to serve
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
25g frozen Cooks’ Ingredients Smoked Butter, defrosted

Method

Preheat the grill to medium. Place the pork chops into a grill pan or sturdy roasting tin, then season.
Toss together the apple, onion, olive oil, honey, chopped rosemary and some seasoning. Arrange around the pork chops and grill for 20-25 minutes, turning once or twice until the apple is golden and the pork is cooked through with no pink meat and the juices run clear. Heat the mash according to pack instructions.
Drizzle the vinegar over the chops, then top with the butter and a scattering of rosemary leaves. Return to the grill for 1-2 minutes until the butter has melted, then serve with the vegetable mash.
