A nostalgic nod to classic British fare, this dish brings together humble staples leek, onion, pork, thyme and potato. The pork chop flavour is maximised by the pan juices, enhanced with garlic and thyme, providing a lighter version of a cream sauce.

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Add 2-4 tbsp olive oil and half the thyme to an oven tray
Put in the oven for 5 min or until warmed through
2
Meanwhile, slice the potatoes into discs (approx 1/2cm thick)
Add the potatoes to the warmed tray, taking care of spitting oil
Coat the potatoes in the oil, season generously with salt and pepper and return to the oven for 30 min or until golden brown
3
Meanwhile, peel and slice the onion(s) finely
Strip the remaining thyme leaves from their stalks
4
Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to a large pan on a medium heat
Once the oil is hot, add the onion and coat well
Cook for 10 min or until starting to brown and caramelise
Tip: Long and slow is best for optimum sweetness, so be patient and stir occasionally
5
Meanwhile, cut the leeks in half lengthways and wash carefully to remove any grit from between the leaves
Slice the halves finely
Peel and chop (or grate) the garlic finely
6
Once the onion is done, push aside to make room for the pork
Add the pork and cook for 3-5 min each side, or until cooked through
Once cooked, transfer the meat and onion to a plate and cover, reserving the pan
Tip: Families may need two pans for this step
7
Return the pan to a medium heat add the leek and garlic to the pan, scraping any residue from the bottom
Add 50ml (100ml) milk, 20g (40g) butter and the remaining thyme leaves and mix well
