Bacon and Apple Pork Parcel with Appley Leek Couscous and Tenderstem Recipe from www . hellofresh . co . uk
Prep time : 40 minutes Serves : 4
Ingredients :
• 1 leek
• 2 Braeburn apples
• 2 packs tenderstem broccoli
• 1 chicken stock pot
• 225g couscous
• 4 pork medallions
• 8 rashers streaky bacon
• 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 / 2 bunch of sage
• 450ml water
• Olive oil
Method :
1 . Boil your kettle . Cut the bottom root and the top dark green part off the leek . Cut in half lengthways then slice into half moon shapes ( about 1 / 2 cm wide ). Cut the top and bottom off one of the apples , slice into two rounds per person , then remove the middle with a sharp knife . Peel the other apple , remove the core and then chop into small 1 / 2 cm chunks . Put the tenderstem broccoli on a baking tray and drizzle over some oil , a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper . Leave to the side . Preheat your oven to 200 ° C .
2 . Dissolve the chicken stock pot in a jug of boiling water as per instructions .
3 . Put a large saucepan on medium heat with a drizzle of oil and add your leek and chopped apple ( leave your apple rounds for later ). Cook for 5-7 mins until soft , then add the couscous , 2 tbsp olive oil and stock . Stir together . Once your couscous mixture has come to the boil , put a lid on the pan , take it off the heat and leave to the side for 10 mins or until everything else is ready .
4 . Cut the pork in half through the middle to make two medallions per person . Lay the bacon rashers on a board and place one pork medallion on top of each bacon rasher . Divide the wholegrain mustard between your medallions so you have a dollop on each , then lay an apple round on top of your mustard . Fold your bacon over your apple to form a parcel .
5 . Put a frying pan on medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil . Once hot , add each pork parcel , apple-side down . Cook for 2-3 mins until golden brown , then turn over and cook on the other side for the same amount of time . Once done , pop them on a lined baking tray on the top shelf of your oven for 7-10 mins - the pork is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle .
6 . Pop your broccoli on the second shelf of your oven , at the same time as your pork parcels , for 7 mins .
7 . While your pork parcels and broccoli are cooking , remove the sage leaves from their stalks and roughly chop them . Once your couscous is ready , fluff it up with a fork and stir through your sage .
8 . When everything is ready , serve your appley leek couscous on plates with your pork parcels on top and your broccoli on the side . Enjoy !
