Ingredients
- 700g floury potato, cut into thin chips, patted dry
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tsp
- ½ tsp fennel seed, crushed
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 280g pack green bean
- 2 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large fennel bulb, halved and very thinly sliced
- 4 pork chops
Method
- STEP 1
Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp oil and some seasoning in a baking tray. Spread out in a single layer and bake for 20 mins. Add the fennel seeds and paprika, turn potatoes and bake for 20 mins more until golden.
- STEP 2
Meanwhile, cook the green beans in boiling water for 5-6 mins. Run under cold water and drain well. Mix 1 tbsp more oil, the vinegar, shallot, sugar, 1 tsp mustard and some seasoning. Toss the fennel and green beans in the dressing.
- STEP 3
Rub the remaining oil on the chops and season. Pan-fry for about 7 mins on each side until cooked through. Make sure to brown fat on the edge, too. Smear with remaining mustard and rest for a few mins. Serve with the chips and bean salad, drizzling over the mustardy resting juices.
