MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• I love the old French favourites, the sorts that evoke not the supercilious waiter and theatrically removed silvered dome of the big name restaurants, but rather the small town bistro, all warm wood and rough red.
• This is possibly the easiest route to a proper, filling and yet strangely delicate dinner. The pork is cooked for just enough time to take away pinkness but ensure tenderness within, and gloriously scorched without. The mustard, cider and cream add comfort and piquancy. To soak up the gorgeous juices, and to serve as a fantastically quicktime potato substitute, I serve up gnocchi alongside. You could always add a little lemony fennel, sliced thinly, or a green salad if you're in the mood.
• Cut the fat or rind off the chops, and then bash them briefly but brutally with a rolling pin between 2 pieces of cling film/plastic wrap to make them thinner.
• Heat the oil in a pan, and then cook the chops over a moderately-high heat for about 5 minutes a side. Remove them to a warmed plate.
• Pour the cider into the pan, still over the heat, to deglaze the pan. Let it bubble away for a minute or so then add the mustard and stir in the cream.
• Let the sauce continue cooking for a few minutes before pouring over each plated pork chop. If you're having gnocchi with, make sure you turn them in the pan to absorb any spare juices before adding them to your plates.

APRICOT-MUSTARD SAUCE WITH PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, Dijon and whole-grain mustards, and jam until blended. Serve with Sauteed Pork Chops, grilled chicken, or turkey cutlets. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week.

APRICOT TERIYAKI PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the preserves, teriyaki sauce, mustard and ginger.
• In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high flame.
• Season chops with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of the preserves mixture over each pork chop, cover and cook over medium-low heat for 6 minutes or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add snow peas and cook for 3 minutes. Add pasta and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until pasta is tender.
• Drain pasta and peas and place in a large serving bowl.
• Stir in all but 1/4 cup of preserves mixture. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
• Serve pasta with pork chops, spooning reserved apricot-mustard-teriyaki sauce on top.

PORK CHOPS WITH JAMMY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the mustard. Set near the stove. Pat the pork chops dry, and season all over with salt and pepper.
• In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the pork chops and cook, occasionally pressing down to make good contact with the skillet, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, flip the chops and cook until opaque on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the jam-mustard mixture, turn off the heat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to plates, then return the skillet to medium-low heat and simmer, scraping up browned bits, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Every jam is different, so if it's too sweet, add more mustard, salt or black pepper; if it's too salty, add a little more jam; if it's too intense or thick, add a little more water; if it's flat, add salt. Spoon sauce over the pork chops.
