Pork Chops & Apple Gravy with Mash
A very poorly written recipe sorry....
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Pork Chops
- Smooth Apple Sauce (ideally, chunky is fine if you need to but youll have little lumps of apple, which isnt good if you dont like apple sauce)
- Dried seasoning (i use dry herbs, celery salt, black pepper, powdered garlic, all purpose seasoning (basically a mix of paprika, powdered coriander, powdered onion etc))
- Onion
- Garlic
- Runner beans/peas/baby leaf spinach
- Stock Cubes/Favourite gravy granuals
- Potato
- Creme Freche
- Butter
- Peel and chop potatoes and put on to boil.
- Fry onion and garlic in a deep frying pan with a few dollops of apple sauce, a pinch of dry mixed herbs, until softened. I also tend to add a dustigof Gravy granuals over the top
I dont care if its cheating lol, gives a lovely meaty flavour! - Then add pork chops and brown well on both sides. Then add enough ready made gravy/stock with corn flour mixed in to voer the chops. For my size pan and 6-8 chops that usually means about a pint t a pint and half of thick ready made gravy or just under 2 pints of stock.
- If you are adding ready made gravy add another half a pint of very watery gravy so when you cook it and the water coks off you dont end up witha thick blob.
- Cook for about 20 mins/30 mins in the gravy, thats a rough guide tho. Itll probably be ready to eat in 10, but after that the longer you leave it (so long as its still in gravy) the softer it'll get. I tend to add another dollop of apple sauce 15 mins in as well.
- When your about 5/10 minutes away from taking the chops off the heat add the veg to the gravy and take th potatos off.
- Add creme freche, salt, pepper and powdered/fresh garlic & a knob of butter to the potatoes and mash well. If you like you can stir in a spoonful of chopped fresh chives as well

Piri Piri Chicken
- takes 30 min, plus marinating. Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 red chillies
1 red pepper
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts - it says skin on but I never do)
salad leaves to serve
This is what the recipe says;
1) Halve and seed the chillies and red pepper. Chop the chillies finely and the pepper roughly. Tip into food processor and add the vinegar and oil, and season. Whizz, but leave chunky.
2) Slash the chicken breasts across the skin side and put in a shallow ovenproof dish. Pour over three-quarters of the marinade, turning the chicken to coat it. Marinate for at least 10 minutes, or overnight in the fridge if you have time. Reserve the remaining marinade.
3) Heat a griddle or heavy frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 5 - 6 mins each side, turning once. Serve on a bed of salad leaves with the reserved marinade drizzled over.
. . . . and this is how I do it!;
1) Halve and seed the chillies and red pepper. Tip them into the food processor and add the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Blend to a medium/smooth puree consistency.
2) Cut the chicken breasts into strips or chunks and marinate in the sauce, 10 mins as suggested at least.
3) Heat wok or frying pan. Add the chicken but keep some of the sauce back. It tends to 'evaporate' easily in a hot pan so keep adding a bit so that it doesn't stick to the pan. I usually add all of the sauce, I don't add any after.
Serve with accompaniment of your choice. It's good on a bed of salad leaves and with a jacket spud or potato wedges.

Bacon, Onion & Potato Fritters
Peel the poatoes and boil as you would mash
Cook bacon, which I do in a frying pan
Then mash up the potatoes and add the bacon to it cut into small pieces then add a chopped onion. I then add a sprinkle of pepper.
Roll into four balls, then squish them down a little bit and fry with a little bit of oil.
DELICIOUS!! And we have ours with a tin of baked beans!!
