Pork Tenderloin with mashed potato & honey & mustard cream sauce by Barry Horne
Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
600g pork tenderloin
3-4 large potatoes
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp honey
120ml double cream
500ml chicken stock
100ml white wine
75g butter
Small bunch of sage.
Salt & pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
Start by making the mashed potatoes. Peel and dice the potatoes into even size pieces and place in a pot of water, season with salt and place on a medium high heat and cook until tender. Mash or put through a ricer. Season the mashed potatoes with 25g of the butter and 50ml of the cream, salt and pepper.
Keep the mash warm while you cook the pork. Place a large pan on a medium high heat. While that heats up season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Add a small amount of oil to the pan and sear the pork, cook on one side for 2-3 mins, turn and add the rest of the butter and the sage and baste all over. Transfer to the oven and put the pan to the side without washing it. Cook the tenderloin until it reaches an internal temp of 55 degrees C. Rest for 5-10 mins to bring the internal temperature up to around 62 degrees.
Make the sauce in the same pan that you seared the pork in, add the honey and mustard to the pan and cook for 1-2 mins add the white wine and cook until reduced, add the chicken stock and reduce it by two thirds.
Once reduced add the rest of the cream and season with salt and pepper.
Serve by plating a portion of the potato mash, topped with the sliced tenderloin and spoon over the sauce.

Roast pork belly, puy lentils & braised shallots by Barry Horne
serves 4
Ingredients:
1kg pork belly
500g puy lentils (rinsed)
2 carrot
2 onion
2 stick of celery
125ml white wine
500ml chicken stock
250ml water
4 banana shallots (peeled and halved with the core left on)
250ml veal jus
250ml beef stock
Small bunch of sage
2-3 tbsp of good olive oil
3tbsp sherry vinegar
50g unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
Method:
Pre heat the oven to 190 degrees C
Roughly chop 1 carrot and 1 onion and 1 stick of celery and add the to a roasting tray. Season the pork all over and place on top of the vegetables.
Roast in the oven for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 160 and cook for around 1½ - 2 hours.
Put a large pot on a medium heat, finely chop the remaining carrot, onion and celery and add to the pan with a little oil. Sweat the vegetable for 3-4 mins to soften. Add the lentils to the pot and then the white wine. Reduce the wine and add the chicken stock and water, cover with greaseproof paper and cook on a low heat until most of the liquid has gone and the lentils are tender. Don’t season at the start as it will hinder the lentils breaking down and becoming tender.
Now put a medium size frying pan on a high heat and add the butter. When foaming add the halved shallots and cook on the high heat to get some colour, add the beef and veal jus and a few leaves of sage and some salt and pepper. Turn down to a medium heat and cover with greaseproof paper. Cook until shallots are soft and stock has reduced to a sticky sauce.
When the lentils are cooked season them and add the good olive oil and vinegar.
By this time the pork belly should be cooked. Take out of the oven and rest. Serve with a portion of lentils, 2-3 slices of pork and some of the braised shallots. Spoon over some of the shallot braising sauce to finish.
