Pan Seared Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce
There's something incredibly satisfying about a perfectly seared pork chop, isn't there?

The roasted veggies—crispy yet tender—add a vibrant contrast in both flavor and texture. It’s the kind of meal that feels special without being fussy, perfect for weeknights or when you’re hosting. The sauce ties everything together, bright and tangy, while the pork takes center stage. A humble dish done right, it’s the kind of comfort food that leaves everyone coming back for seconds.
Ingredients
  • 800g / 1.76lb pork chops
  • 800g / 1.76lb potatoes
  • 200g / 7oz carrots
  • 200g / 7oz parsnips
  • 20g / 0.7oz Parmesan cheese
  • 20g / 0.7oz rucola or mache salad
  • 2 tbsp / 30ml vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp / 10g sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp / 10g salt
  • 1 tsp / 5g Chinese soy sauce
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • ½ tsp / 2g black pepper
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Peel and chop the parsnips, carrots, potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Brush this marinade evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.

5. Place the pork chops on the baking sheet with the vegetables and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

6. While the pork is roasting, prepare the mustard sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine all the sauce ingredients except the oil. Blend until smooth, then slowly pour in the oil while blending until the sauce is emulsified. Season with salt to taste.

7. Once the pork is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. Serve with the roasted vegetables and spoon the mustard sauce over the top.
