W L THE BUTCHERS CUT BY MUFFS OF BROMBOROUGH PORK FILLET IN APPLE & MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE METHOD INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • • • Pork fillet Brown sugar Cooking apples cored and chopped Butter Oil Calvados or quality cider Double cream Wholegrain mustard Fresh sage • • • • • • 44 wirrallife.com Lightly drizzle the pork fillet with a little oil and season well with salt & pepper. With a hot, heavy bottomed frying pan seal the pork fillet until all sides sided have some colour then remove from the pan. The pork should be just under done at this stage. Keeping well back, carefully add a couple of tablespoons of Calvados, let the alcohol burn off and move around to deglaze the pan. Add a tablespoon of brown sugar and allow to melt but don’t burn, add the butter and when it starts to foam up add the apples and toss them around. Once they are nicely caramelised, add a large teaspoon of mustard, two or three sage leaves and about 250ml cream. Place the pork fillet back in and continue to cook. Once the cream sauce has reduced by about a third and the pork is cooked through you are ready to serve. As the cream sauce is quite heavy I like to serve this with white rice. Enjoy!
