My favourite recipes are those which taste like they are from a fancy restaurant, but are actually really quick and easy to do. This Easy Cider, Cream and Mustard Pork is definitely one of those recipes!

Easy Cider Cream and Mustard Pork

I am of the firm opinion that everyone needs a good stock of quick and easy midweek recipes, which still deliver on flavour, and this Cider, Cream and Mustard Pork  recipe easily meets those criteria. I am a busy working mum and I just haven’t got the time to start making MasterChef stylee recipes on a weekday evening (or even at the weekend to tell the truth), but I still want amazing flavours – I am a total foodie at heart.

So that is why I spend my time creating recipes like this. It is so, so simple to do and takes well under 30 minutes, but my goodness it tastes good! Easy enough for a midweek treat, but tasty enough for the weekend too!

Easy Cider Cream and Mustard Pork

I have served this simple but tasty pork dish with some mashed potato, green beans and kale, but it would also go well with rice or pasta, and any veg you fancy. Or if you are really pushed for time – serve this with some nice bread and revel in the fact you only have one pan to wash up 😀

This is also another great recipe to make a double quantity of and either have the rest the next day or freeze for another time.

If you don’t want to use cider, this could be swapped for an equal quantity of dry white wine, or else, for a non-alcoholic option, chicken stock would work fine too.

Easy Cider Cream and Mustard Pork

I normally share a wine match at this point in my recipes, but this time I reckon that really the best match has to be the same cider as you cooked with – I used Henry Westons Vintage Cider, but if you would prefer wine then a Southern French or Chilean Oaked Chardonnay would be great here too.

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 600 g pork fillet or medallions cubed
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 150 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed or grated
  • 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard I used Maille
  • 200 ml cider I used Henry Westons Vintage
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100 ml crème fraiche or cream, if you prefer
  • Mashed potatoes, rice, bread or pasta to serve
  • Green vegetables to serve

Instructions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan or sauté pan. Add the pork to the pan and brown all over for about 2 minutes. Remove the pork and juices to a plate.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the sliced onion. Cook over a low heat with a lid for 3 minutes until softened. Remove the lid, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms, cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the mustard and stir, then add the pork back in together with the cider and some salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the cider has reduced slightly and the pork is cooked through.
  • Stir in the crème fraiche and cook for 1 more minute, then serve.

    This sounds delicious! Such a simple and easy meal for midweek too. We love creamy mustardy sauces and it must go so well with the pork here. Of course it’s always great when a recipe is great the next day too so thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

      Thanks Corina 🙂 I am always a huge fan of meals that can be eaten the next day too – or frozen for the future. Hence why I’m always linking up to your linky 😉 Eb x

    This recipe sounds really lovely, I especially like the sauce, which must be so creamy and sharp with the mustard and the cider in it. Your choice of ingredients is super appealing:)

      Aw, thanks Monika – it is a great sauce, the combination of cream, mustard, cider and mushrooms just go so well with pork. 🙂 Eb x

    I’m not a big fan of mustard, but that aside, the sauce sounds delicious! I wish I could be bothered to make meals like this during the week……. SO strapped for time (regardless how quick they are to make) x

      Thanks Kate! I must admit I am not a huge fan of standard English mustard, but I love the sweeter, more gemtle kick of good wholegrain French mustard – but you could always leave it out – cider, mushrooms and cream is still a pretty good sauce! This recipe really does take very little time – and you could always serve it with bread and maybe a little salad if you didn’t fancy doing veggies, but this is also a great recipe to make at the weekend and stash away for super quick midweek meals! 🙂 Eb x

    I LOVE the sound of this…it’s right up my street. I wonder if it would work with goats yoghurt because I can’t eat cows milk products without coming out in really bad eczema! I am going to give it a go. Sounds delicious!

      Aw, thanks Vicki. I can’t see why it wouldn’t work with goats yogurt – let me know how is goes if you try it! Sorry to hear cow’s milk makes your eczema bad. I live in a house of eczema sufferers – it’s miserable when it’s bad 🙁 At least you’ve identified what makes it flare up and it’s something you can do something about it. Mr G’s gets bad when he’s tired a stressed – not great when you have a busy job and a young family! Eb x

    Any recipe that takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish always gets my attention, but this is something else. The pork, cider, mustard, mash, mushrooms… They’re all ingredients I love and I will definitely be giving it a try as it sounds gorgeous xxx Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.

      Thanks Mel 🙂 If you like 30 minute recipes then you have come to the right place – soo many of my recipes take 30 minutes (or less) from start to finish! And the rest take a few minutes prep and then into the oven to do their thing. I don’t have time for long and complicated recipes in my life! But I absolutely do not think that means I have to compromise on flavour – this recipe is a great case in point – packed full of flavour, but very little effort!! Oooh do let me know how it goes if you try it!! Eb x

      Thanks Kirsty 🙂 Yes pork and cider is a fab combo – add in a touch of mustard and a splash of cream and it takes it to the next level! Eb x

    I can confirm this recipe is very good, I added some fresh thyme and served with mashed potato and spinach.

    Made this on holiday in the most basic of holiday home kitchens. Was as delicious and as easy as Eb claims. I too added thyme which worked well.
