Maple and mustard pork cutlets with apple salad

Believe it or not, this tantalising pork dinner is ready in just ten minutes. The maple-mustard combination adds a new twist to the weekday favourite.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
  • 4 x 200g pork cutlets
  • 200g small Swiss brown mushrooms, halved
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cream
  • 200g green beans, trimmed, blanched
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced into matchsticks
  • 1/2 bunch parsley, leaves picked
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Season pork and cook for 2 minutes each side. Reduce heat to medium and add the mushroom to the pan. Glaze the pork with maple syrup and cook, turning, for a further 4 minutes or until golden. Transfer pork to a plate and set aside, loosely covered with foil, to rest.
  2. Add mustard, cream and 2 tbsp water to the mushroom in the pan. Stir until combined and heated through.
  3. Combine beans with the apple, parsley and lemon juice, then drizzle with extra olive oil. Serve pork cutlets with apple salad, mushroom and pan juices.
