Julie Goodwin’s Essential Cookbook ($39.99), published by Hachette Australia.

Honey mustard glazed pork chops
Serves 4 Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes + marinating time

⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup whole grain mustard
⅓ cup white wine
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 pork loin chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup cream

1 Combine the honey, mustard, wine and garlic in a bowl. Add the pork chops,
ensuring they are coated all over, and marinate for 10 minutes.
2 Heat the oil in a large chef pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chops
from the bowl, reserving the marinade, and cook for about 4–5 minutes on
each side or until golden and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and
rest under foil.
3 Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook
for 2–3 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in the cream and simmer for about
2 minutes or until thickened to a saucy consistency.
4 Drizzle the chops with the honey mustard sauce and serve.

MUSTARD, GINGER, GARLIC, CARDAMOM

TONGA CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

 

‘Created at a Tongan vanilla plantation using ingredients available on the plantation, including passion fruit, freshly juiced limes, fresh ginger and vanilla, which I made into a mustard, this dish easily adapts for parties by substituting the thighs and drumsticks with the same amount of chicken wings.’  p.158-159

.

SERVES 6

750g (1lb. 10oz.) chicken thighs and/or drumsticks, bone in, skin on

1 small handful coriander (cilantro) leaves, for garnishing

 

For the marinade:

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

1 tsp coriander seeds, toasted

½ tsp cardamom seeds, toasted

240ml (1 cup) grapeseed or vegetable oil

60ml (¼ cup) lime juice

½ medium onion (100g/3½oz.), chopped

120ml (½ cup) passion fruit juice (or fresh pineapple juice), or 4 passion fruit, pulped and seeded

1 tbsp coconut or brown sugar

¼ tsp salt

120ml (½ cup) seasoned rice wine vinegar

2 tsp Dijon mustard, or Vanilla Honey Mustard (see page 164) large pinch nutmeg

30g (1oz./½ cup) fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, chopped

2 fresh red chilies, thinly sliced

 

Cut any excess fat off the chicken pieces and discard, then transfer the chicken to a medium-sized bowl or casserole dish.

Using a mortar and pestle, grind the garlic, ginger and coriander and cardamom seeds to make a paste. Transfer this paste to a food processor (or use a stick blender), add all the remaining marinade ingredients except the chilies, and whizz until smooth. Stir in the sliced chilies then pour the marinade over the chicken to coat. Cover the dish, or put everything into a zip-sealing bag, and chill for 2–8 hours.

 

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas mark 4).

 

Drain the chicken from the marinade and set aside. Bake the chicken pieces for 25 minutes, or until juices run clear. Remove from the oven, transfer onto a serving plate, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

To serve, reduce the leftover marinade and drizzle it over the chicken, then scatter the coriander (cilantro) leaves, and the chilies from the reduced marinade over all and serve immediately.
