Creamy Mustard Pork with Garlic Herb Mash & Greens

Prep time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Cuisine: British
Food group: Pork

We've created this recipe with the whole family in mind. Tender British pork simmers in a creamy sauce, made extra comforting by swirls of soft cheese. Smooth mashed potato ups the comfort, while vibrant broccoli and green beans bring a pop of colour and extra veggies. And it's fully adaptable too - feel free to leave out the parsley and and leek from the mash for little foodies. A family favourite that is big on flavour and low on effort.

Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large bowl, a sieve, a masher & a measuring jug

Get started

  • Dice the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel optional). Trim and thinly slice the leeks into 1/2cm half-moons
  • Add the potato to the saucepan and simmer for 13-15 mins, until soft, then drain
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the leek and garlic herb paste. Cook for 5-6 mins, until softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to the large bowl

Finish the prep & cook the pork

  • Meanwhile, trim the green beans. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Finely chop the parsley
  • Add the cornflour to the measuring jug with 50ml cold water. Stir to dissolve then add the stock powder and 300ml hot water
  • Reheat the frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on high heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook for 4 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Stir the maple mustard dressing, soft cheese and stock mix into the pork, then simmer for 7 mins, until cooked through. Season to taste

Make the garlic herb mash

  • Once cooked, rinse out the potato pan, bring to the boil with salted water then add the green beans and broccoli and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then season with salt and pepper
  • Add the potato to the leek pan (make it kid friendly: add the potato to a separate bowl and leave plain for the kids). Mash the potato and leek together with 1 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in half the chopped parsley (make it kid friendly: leave the parsley out of the mash and save for garnish)

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Serve the mash into bowls, topped with the mustard pork. Serve the broccoli and green beans alongside. Garnish with the remaining parsley and a generous pinch of pepper
