Turbo Cider Pork Normandy

3 Thick Pork Chops, trimmed of fat and cubed
1 Large Spanish Onion, thinly sliced
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed then diced
1 Eating Apple, skinned and cored and thinly sliced
3/4 Pint of Turbo Cider
2 Pork Stock Cubes (I used Knorr)
1 Heaped Teaspoon Wholegrain Mustard
Dried Sage - A good few shakes!
Fresh Thyme - 2 Sprigs
Ground Black Pepper to taste
1-2 dessert spoons brown sugar
2-3 Tablespoons Double Cream or Creme Fraiche (Optional)

Fry the cubed pork in some oil or butter until lightly browned, add the
onion and garlic and fry for another minute or two stirring often.

Add the Turbo Cider, Stock Cubes, Apple, Mustard, Sage, Thyme, Sugar and Pepper then cover and simmer on a low heat for 1 hour.

After 1 hour if the sauce is still thin, remove the lid, turn up the
heat and stir until you have the desired consistency then stir in the
optional Cream or Creme Fraiche, reheat then serve with your choice of
veg.

I cooked this for my mum n dad the other day. My dad doesn't have any
appetite due to his chemotherapy but after sampling some off my mums
plate he proceeded to wolf down a plate full with Wholegrain Mustard
Mashed Potatoes and Buttered Green Beans!!! :D
