Pork & Apple Braise

I am always in search of warming winter meals and the other day I came across a delicious one. And - you know the drill - it was easy and quick and therefore it's now here on the blog for you all to enjoy (and for me to find quickly when I want to make it again).

You will need:
500g pork tenderloin
1 tbsp plain flour, seasoned
2 tbsp olive oil
1 apple, cored & cut into thin wedges, skin on
300ml chicken or veg stock
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
some chopped parsley

1. Cut the pork into 2cm slices and coat in the seasoned flour. Heat 1 tbsl of the oil in a large frying pan and fry the pork, then remove and set aside.
2. Fry the apple, then slowly stir in the stock, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
3. Return the pork to the pan and add the bay leaves and mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins, adding a little water or more stock if necessary. Stir in the parsley before serving.

I served this with rice. The original recipe (click image) says it's for 4 people but maybe we eat loads and it was enough for just David and myself! I've made it twice so far and it's never disappointed. Let me know what you think if you decide to try it! :)
