Sticky Maple Pork with Apples

Ingredients

  • 600g pork fillet
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 eating apples cored and cut into eighths
  • 1 garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp white or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Method

  1. Slice the pork into pieces roughly 3cm thick. Warm the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, place the pork in the pan, and cook until both sides have a light brown colour, which should take around 5 mins altogether. Remove the pork from the pan and set it aside. Put the apple pieces into the pan and cook them for 3-4 mins until they begin to soften.
  2. Add the garlic, maple syrup, vinegar and 3 tbsp water to the pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then put the pork back into the pan along with any collected juices. Allow it to simmer for a few more mins, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened into a sticky glaze. Mix through the wholegrain mustard, then it is ready to serve with plain rice or the crispy onion rice mentioned.
