Soy marinated pork chops with runner beans and mash
Salty bite sized pork chops with silky mash and fresh runner beans.
Ingredients
- 800 gr potatoes floury
- 400 gr runner beans
- 30 gr butter + 10 gr for beans
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt & pepper to taste
For the pork chops
- 250 gr pork chops diced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil or oil of choice
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp vinegar or juice from pickled onions
- 1 clove of garlic grated
Instructions
- Cut the pork chops into bite-sized chunks, (I prefer to keep these on the smaller side, to give the impression of there being more then there is) mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl and mix it with the pork. Set aside for now but stir it now and then to ensure everything is properly marinated.
- Then peel and chop the potatoes, then in a pot with enough water to cover, bring them to a boil and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- After you’ve put the potatoes into their pot, wash and slice the runner beans into thin strips. Put them into a second pot and cover with water, when the potatoes have approximately 10 more minutes to go, bring them to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- At the same time as the beans, you put the pork into a hot frying pan and fry on high until most of the liquid has evaporated, then turn to a medium to low heat until cooked through. Stir frequently to prevent the burning of garlic.
- Once the potatoes are done so that they are soft and fluffy, add the 30 grams of butter along with the milk, salt, and pepper. Mash all this together until it is nice and smooth.
- When the beans are done at the 10 grams of butter and salt to taste, stir well to cover all the beans.
- Serve all together on a plate in their own corners and sprinkle with some fresh ground pepper if you like, and don’t forget to enjoy your meal.
Notes
If you like you can even add some grated cheddar (50-100 grams) to the mashed potatoes for some extra flavour.
Of course, you can replace the runner beans with any type of green bean.
