Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 4 (about 900g) Coles Australian Pork Cutlets, excess fat trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large fennel, finely chopped, fronds reserved
- 1 leek, pale section only, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled, finely chopped
- 400g can lentils, rinsed, drained
- 1/2 cup (125ml) chicken stock
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored, cut into wedges
Method
- Step 1Whisk the vinegar and mustard in a jug. Place the pork in a glass or ceramic bowl. Pour over the vinegar mixture and turn to coat. Set aside for 15 mins to develop the flavours.
- Step 2Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the fennel, leek and carrot. Cook, stirring, for 10 mins or until fennel softens. Add the lentils and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 mins or until sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 3Drain the pork, reserving the marinade. Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the apple wedges and cook for 1 min each side or until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate. Cook pork for 4 mins each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 mins to rest.
- Step 4Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into the pan and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 mins or until the sauce thickens.
- Step 5Divide the lentil mixture among serving plates. Top with the pork and apples. Serve drizzled with the sauce and reserved fennel fronds.
