Image-empty-state_edited_edited_edited.j

Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 2 pork chops

  • 2 large handfuls of green veg (chard, runner beans, broccoli, kale, etc)

  • 150g cherry tomatoes

  • 6 garlic cloves

  • 2 sprigs rosemary

  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

  • 1 tbsp runny honey

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 apple

  • salt and pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180c or 360f


First off take your chosen green veg and chop into bitesized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes and peel and quarter your garlic. Throw all these in a roasting tray then pick the leaves of the rosemary and add to the pan. Pour over two tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper before mixing well.


In a small bowl mix the mustard and honey together to create a sauce for the meat that we will use later.


Put the tray of veg into the oven and then season your pork chops before putting in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil, turning every so often until the meat is browned on all sides and slightly caramelised on the edges. This should take about 3-4 minutes.


Remove the veg tray from the oven then lay the chops on the top. Drizzle the mustard and honey mix over the meat then finely slice rounds of apple and lay these on top.


Return the tray to the oven and leave for 12 minutes until the meat is cooked through.


That's it you are done, just serve and enjoy.

This pork chop tray bake is a perfect late summer, early autumn dish using vegetables from the garden.


When it comes to an easy weeknight dinner you can't beat a good tray bake. What I love most about this recipe is that you can use whatever green vegetables you like. Super useful if you have been growing your own. This year I have chard and runner beans so that's what I used but next year it may be kale and tenderstem broccoli. Mix those with some cherry tomatoes and garlic and you have a vibrant super tasty dinner.
