Walnut-Crusted Pork Chops With Cauliflower And Bechamel Sauce
- 800 g whole small potatoes, peeled, larger ones halved
- 1 None cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 75 g white bread, torn into pieces
- 5 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
- 100 g walnuts
- 100 g Gouda cheese, grated
- 60 g butter, chilled
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 800 g pork medallions
- 30 g plain flour
- 250 ml milk
- 250 ml vegetable stock
- Pinch None ground nutmeg
- 6 sprigs parsley, leaves shredded
- Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15-20 mins until tender. Drain and keep warm. Cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5-7 mins until tender. Drain and refresh in cold water. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Put the bread into a food processor with the thyme, walnuts, cheese and 2 tbsp of the cold butter. Pulse until you have a breadcrumb mix. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan, add the pork, and cook for 1-2 mins each side (you may need to do this in batches). Transfer to a baking sheet and gently press the breadcrumb mixture on top of each one. Bake for 10-12 mins.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large pan, add the cauliflower, and saute for 5 mins. Remove and keep warm.
- To make the Bechamel sauce, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the flour and cook for 1-2 mins. While continually stirring, add the milk and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, and simmer until thickened. Stir in the nutmeg and parsley. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- To serve, place the potatoes, cauliflower, and pork on a plate, and drizzle with sauce.
