Ingredients

  • 4 small boneless pork chops
  • 5 teaspoons mustard divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry savory or thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
  • 4 rather large onions
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 4 buns we had multi seed buns
  • some rocket or other salad leaves
  • radishes or gherkins to serve optional

Instructions

  • Place the meat between two layers of cling film. Tenderize the meat slightly using a meat mallet. Mix 1 heaped teaspoon of the mustard, the grated garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, and paprika powder. Rub the chops with the mixture, place in a flat dish and cover with cling film. Let marinate in the fridge for at about 4-5 hours. Take the meat out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Slice the onions into thin rings. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan or cast iron pan. Add the onions, sprinkle them with a little salt and cook them gently until they soften slightly and start getting some color, about 10 minutes. Add a splash of water if they threaten to catch.
  • While the onions are cooking, split the buns. Heat them for a few minutes in the oven. Remove the onions from the pan and keep them warm while you fry the meat.
  • Wipe the pan with some kitchen paper. Or you could use another pan/skillet and cook the meat while the onions are still on the hob. Heat the last tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add the pork chops and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side. These are rather small chops that will fit in a bun, so the cooking time will be short. The chops should be golden.
  • Smear each lower bun part with some of the remaining mustard. Place a pork chop on the bun. Top with a few salad leaves, some of the onions, and the upper side of the bun. Serve immediately with radishes or gherkins or white cabbage salad.
