Recently we were able to find some parsnips here in Mexico. I found this recipe some time back and found it amongst my other recipes…too late! We already had eaten the parsnips…darn! Nevertheless I ventured forth with this recipe omitting the parsnips. It still is a great recipe. Maybe next time if I ever find parsnips again…
Honey Mustard Pork Chops with Parsnip and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 2 Pork Chops, Thick cut bone in pork chops
- 400 g Parsnips (omitted this time) *
- 350 g Broccoli
- 1 Tbsp Strong English Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Wholegrain Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 35 g Butter
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and add a generous amount of salt. *
- Peel and cut the parsnips in half and then add to the boiling water and parboil for 10 minutes. *
- Trim up your pork chops, I like to French trim mine because it means less mess fingers when I pick up the bone to gnaw it clean later.
- Break your broccoli down into florets.
- After your parsnips have been boiling for 10 minutes remove from the water and place in a sieve to steam dry for 2-3 minutes. *
- Heat a pan that will transfer to the oven over a high heat.
- Mix together the mustards, honey and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter in a hot pan and then toss in the parsnips and caramelize for 4-5 minutes to get a nice colour. *
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and nestle into the pan.
10.Pour over the honey and mustard sauce.
- Add in the broccoli and roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the thickest part of the pork chop reaches 58°C or 135°F.
- Rest with a lid on for 5 minutes or until the temperature of the chop reaches 62°C or 145°F
Buen provecho...2022
