Pork Chops with Apple and Parsnip Sauce

Ingredients:
1 Pork chop per person
50ml butter
1 Bramley or Granny Smith cooking apple, peeled and cubed
1 large parsnip, peeled and cubed
1 shallot, finely chopped
100ml white wine
30ml Dijon mustard
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season
5ml chicken stock powder
30-45ml honey
100ml double cream
Fresh chopped parsley to garnish.

Method:
Cook the chops on a hot griddle pan shortly before the sauce is ready.

To Make The Sauce:
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the apple, parsnip and shallot. Saute together for a few minutes before adding the wine and mustard.
Add seasoning and chicken stock powder and bring to the boil.
Simmer until the apple and parsnip are breaking down and the wine has reduced.
With a hand blender, blitz the mixture to a puree, then fold in the honey and cream. Check the seasoning.
Warm through and serve the sauce over the chops, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
