Ingredients

  • 750g potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red apple, cored and cut into 1cm-thick slices
  • half a teaspoon caster sugar
  • 400g pork fillet (tenderloin), sliced into chunks and fat trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 celery sticks, thinly sliced
  • 150ml reduced-salt vegetable or chicken stock
  • 150ml unsweetened apple juice
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons 1%-fat milk

Directions

1

Cook the potatoes in simmering water, until tender. They will take about 20 minutes. Drain and put aside when cooked.

2

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the apple slices, cooking them over a medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the sugar and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes, until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper.

3

Roll the pieces of pork fillet in the dried mixed herbs. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan. Add the pork and cook over medium-heat for a few minutes to brown. Information: Another time, try this recipe with turkey breast steaks instead of pork.

4

Add the onion and celery, then pour in the stock and apple juice. Leave to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid should reduce down a little. Season with pepper.

5

Mash the potatoes and beat in the milk.

6

Serve the potatoes with the pork and apples, along with a portion of lightly cooked fresh or frozen vegetables, like broccoli. Information: Pork fillet is delicious and quite economical. If you have any left over, try cutting it into strips or thin slices and stir-fry with lots of fresh vegetables, serving with rice or noodles.
