Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 500g / 1.1lb Pork tenderlion fillet ,cut into 1cm thick medallions. (Typically one standard pork tenderloin)
  • 20g (1.5 tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 200g (3 cups) mushrooms ,sliced
  • 2 medium leeks ,finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 180g (¾ cup) fresh apple juice
  • 180g (¾ cup) home made / low salt chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 75g (3 cups loosely packed) g spinach ,finely chopped
  • 1tsp - 1tbsp cornflour (corn starch) (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon double cream (thickened cream / heavy cream)
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over a medium high heat in a wide based pan. Brown the pork (just colour them, no need to fully cook them.) Remove from the pan.
  • Add half the butter to the pan and then add the mushrooms. Remove the mushrooms once they have absorbed the butter and oil and left your pan dry. (Again, no need to fully cook them)
  • Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan and heat, over a medium heat, before adding the leeks. Reduce the heat and let the leeks soften, this takes about 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile combine the juice, stock, mustard and vinegar.
  • When leeks are soft add the flour and stir continually for 2 mins.
  • Begin adding the juice/stock liquid little by little, continually stiring.
  • When all liquid has been added reintroduce the pork and mushroom to the pan.
  • Cover and simmer for 3-4 mins. If you'd like a thicker sauce, remove a few tablespoons of the sauce, mix with 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon cornflour (depending on how thick you like it) to form a slurry, then stir back into the pan and cook for 1–2 more mins.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • Mix the cream and lemon juice together and stir into the sauce.
