Jamie Oliver Honey Mustard Pork Chops with Watercress Grains Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 x 250g higher-welfare pork chops
- olive oil
- 1 pouch of Jamie’s Super Grains
- 180g fresh watercress
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 tablespoon runny honey
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts on the fat of the pork chops, spacing them about 1cm apart. This will prevent them from curling up during cooking. Season the chops generously with sea salt.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add ½ tablespoon of oil. Once the pan is hot, place the pork chops in and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden and crispy, and are nearly cooked through—cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
- While the pork chops are cooking, place the grains in a large bowl, top with watercress, and cover with non-PVC cling film. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until the watercress has wilted and the grains are hot throughout.
Additional Step-by-Step Instructions
With just 1 minute left for the pork chops, stir in the mustard, honey, and 50ml of water. Toss and flip the pork chops in the pan until they are glazed and golden brown. Once ready, remove them from the pan and place on a cutting board to slice.
To serve, divide the grains between plates, place the sliced pork chop on top, and finish with a generous dollop of crème fraîche.
