Alison Hammond’s Pork Chop Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 x pork chops, nice and thick, with the rind left on
• 2tbsp all purpose seasoning
• 1tsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1tsp onion powder
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 pepper, sliced
• 1 – 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp gravy browning
• 1 x pork stock cube
• 2tbsp tomato puree
• 600ml hot water
• Gravy granules or cornflour, to thicken if necessary
• 500g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into even sized chunks
• 25g butter
• 400g broccoli, cut into florets and par boiled for 1 minute
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• pinch of chilli flakes
• 1tsp toasted sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Mix the marinade in a bowl, pour over the chops and massage into the meat – leave overnight in the fridge if you have time
2. Heat a casserole dish or dutchie pot and take the pork chops out of the marinade – brush off any excess marinade. Sear the pork chops all over so they get a really good colour on them, I like to do this as it helps make your sauce.
3. Add the marinade to the pan along with the onions and peppers, then mix in a stock cube and the water. Place the lid on and simmer the chops for 1 hour, until soft and tender so they get juicy and succulent. Add some gravy granules or cornflour to thicken the sauce, if necessary.
4. Meanwhile, make the sweet potato mash – carefully place the sweet potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and tender. Drain well and the mash with salt, pepper and the butter.
5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the broccoli and stir fry for a minute or so. Sprinkle over the sesame oil, chilli flakes and sesame seeds and mix well.
6. Serve the chops with the sweet potato mash and sesame broccoli
