Pork Cutlets with Sage & Apple Cider Sauce

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 4 Coles bone-in thick cut pork cutlets 

  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste 

  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 small apples, cut into thick wedges 

  • 30 g Coles butter 

  • 1 small French shallot, diced 

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed 

  • 20 sage leaves, half chopped, half whole 

  • 2 tsp Coles whole grain mustard

  • 2 tsp Coles dijon mustard 

  • 1 tbs Coles honey 

  • 1/2 cup apple cider 

  • 2 tbs apple cider vinegar 

  • ½ cup cream  

Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the whole sage leaves for 20 seconds, or until crisp. Remove from the pan, drain and set aside on kitchen paper.

  • Heat the same pan with the oil on a medium heat. Season the pork with sea salt and black pepper. Cook the pork and apple wedges for 4 - 5 minutes each side, or until browned and just cooked through. Remove pork and apples from the pan and set aside on a tray to rest.

  • Place the pan back onto the heat. Add in the butter and using a wooden spoon scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add in the shallot, garlic and chopped sage. Cook, stirring for 2 - 3 minutes before adding in both of the mustard types, honey, apple cider, cider vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, then add in the cream. Reduce the sauce for a further 5 minutes, or until glossy and thickened. 

  • Place the pork back into the sauce to warm through. Place onto the serving place, add grilled apples and scatter with crispy sage leaves.
