Ingredients
1 x 450g lean British pork fillet, sinew removed and cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons plain flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium white onions, peeled and diced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 celery stick, sliced
200g mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
600ml hot chicken stock
2 sage leaves
2 teaspoons dried herbs de Provence or mixed herbs
2 apples, deseeded and chopped
2 handfuls of fresh kale
100ml double cream
For the mash:
5 Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
40g salted butter
50ml double cream
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl coat the pork in the flour and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish until hot. Add the pork and brown for about 5 minutes. Preheated the oven at 180°C, 160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4.
Step 3
Add the onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Once they start to soften add in the mushrooms, stock, sage and dried herbs.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and bake in the oven for 2½ hours, adding more stock if needed and stir every 30 mins.
Step 5
30 mins before the end of the cooking time add the apples, kale and cream.
Step 6
Meanwhile, prepare your mashed potato by boiling your potatoes for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain in a colander and allow to steam for a minute. This helps your mash stay nice and fluffy.
