Pork Chop Recipes - Pork Chops With Apple & Cheese

Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 45 Minutes

An old established recipe, I've been told you can use pears and perry instead of apples and cider although I've never tried it. You can also use the cheese that best suits your taste. Cheddar is very functional and responds well to cooking, you may however enjoy it more with a strong blue cheese.

Ingredients: Serves 4

4 pork chops
150g mushrooms washed and cut into quarters
1 cooking apple, cored and sliced
1 medium sized shallot finely chopped
Vegetable oil
A large knob of butter
250ml cider
100g grated Cheddar cheese
4 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
A pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

1. Gently heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan and cook the shallot for three or four minutes, add the apple and mushroom and cook for a further five minutes stirring continuously. Introduce half the parsley and the nutmeg and cook for a further minute and salt and pepper.
2. Take your cooked ingredients and place in an over proof dish that has been pre heated and greased.
3. Take your butter add it to the pan and brown your chops for about three minutes on each sides. Put them into your oven-proof dish with the other ingredients and add the cider.
4. Cook in a pre-heated oven at 190°C for 35 minutes.
5. Remove from the over and cover the chops with the grated cheese, cook for a further five minutes ensuring that the meat is fully cooked.
6. Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining parsley serve with new potatoes and mange tout.
