Pork chops with fennel and apple slaw and roasted new potatoes recipe

Dry-fry the fennel seeds in a pan over a medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Tip into a pestle and mortar, add the chilli flakes and some seasoning and roughly crush. Stir in the oil.

Preheat the grill to high. Using scissors, snip through the layer of fat on each pork chop, at intervals – this stops them curling up during cooking. Arrange on a grill rack over a foil-lined tray. Brush with half the spiced oil. Grill for 4-5 minutes. Turn and brush with the remaining spiced oil. Grill for a further 4-5 minutes or until golden and just cooked through. Set aside, covered loosely with foil, to rest while you make the slaw.

Put the red onion and fennel in a large bowl and sprinkle over the lime zest and juice. Quarter and core the apples, then coarsely grate into the bowl. Add the mayonnaise, walnuts and plenty of seasoning and mix together well.

Divide the pork chops between 4 plates, spoon the fennel and apple slaw alongside, and serve with roasted new potatoes.
