Ingredients

  • 2 x 400g packs Essential British Pork Chops
  • 2 tbsp rich & dark espresso ground coffee
  • 1 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
  • 1 tsp mild chilli powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 700g pack frozen mashed potato
  • 1 bunch salad onions, thinly sliced
  • 195g can sweetcorn in water, drained
  • Barbecue Sauce or HP Fruity Sauce, to serve

Method

  1. Snip or slice through the rind of the chops at 1cm intervals. Mix together the coffee grounds, sugar, chill, paprika, cumin and salt. Sprinkle all over the pork and rub in well, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Leave to marinate, if liked (see tip).

  2. Heat the grill to medium and line the grill tray with foil. Place the pork on the rack and grill for 8 minutes each side, brushing with the cooking juices from time to time, until dark and cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear.

  3. Meanwhile, place the mash, salad onions and sweetcorn in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat and stir according to the mash pack instructions, until piping hot.

  4. Divide the sweetcorn mash and pork chops between plates and serve, with a spoonful of barbecue sauce on the side.

Cook’s tip

If you like, cover and chill the rubbed chops for 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours) – the flavours will be even more robust.
