Method
-
step 1
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, then mash with seasoning, a knob of butter and a splash of milk.
-
step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Pick up the chops with tongs and hold fat-side down so the fat gets completely browned and crisp. Then sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through, really seared and brown. Take out of the pan and keep warm under foil.
-
step 3
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft.
-
step 4
Add the juniper berries and cook for a minute. Sprinkle over the flour and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the cider. Simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened to a light gravy consistency.
-
step 5
Add back the chops and simmer gently to just heat through.
-
step 6
Steam the greens, then season and toss with a knob of butter. Serve the chops with a pile of mash and greens and the sauce spooned over.
