Classic pairings of apple and pork get a boost of springtime joy
It’s fair to say the sauce is the star of this dish. Of course, a butter-basted Pork Chop is undeniably juicy and the ‘pull’ to the recipe, but this intensely thick roasted apple date and ginger sauce brings an element of seduction with its almost caramel-like flavour.
Fusion celeriac remoulade
Remoulade is a refreshing alternative to potatoes or pasta due to its earthy flavour. Soy sauce and green chilli add a bit of spice and an Asian twist which complements the sweetness of the apple sauce very nicely.
Sweet and Savoury Apple Date Sauce
A winning combination of apples, Medjool dates, ginger and a little butter. Oven-roasted apples add a rich caramel flavour that develops when mixed with creamy fudge-like Medjool dates. Ginger adds a lovely spike to bring you out of the sweetness and back to savoury land. It takes only 30 minutes to prepare and can be used in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes.
