Method
Cooking the Pork Loin Chops
- Heat a thick bottom cast iron frying pan to a medium heat.
- Season the pork loin chops on either side evenly with salt and ground white pepper.
- Add the cold pressed rapeseed oil to the frying pan and add the pork chops.
- Seal the pork chops on each side in the frying pan and then transfer the pan into a preheated oven, (190c/gas mark 5).
- Cook the pork steaks for 4 – 5 minutes and then turn them over and continue cooking for a further 4 – 5 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the pork steaks from the oven and leave to rest on a plate or tray until needed.
To make the Celeriac and Apple Slaw
- Place the celeriac on a chopping board and cut the top and bottom off with a sharp knife.
- Cut around the celeriac removing the outer skin and discard.
- Cut the celeriac into slices and then into matchsticks and place in a bowl.
- Do exactly the same with the apple, but leave the skin on and add to the celeriac.
- In a separate bowl mix the mayonnaise with the English mustard and then add to the celeriac and apple matchsticks.
- Mix thoroughly and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To make the Chimichurri Sauce
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until a chunky style sauce is formed.
- Season with salt and pepper.
To Serve
