Steps to make Pork Chops with cider, apple, mushrooms & crème fraîche:

1. Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 160C)
2. Melt one knob of butter in a frying pan and brown the chops on both sides, then transfer to a casserole and add the rosemary and thyme.
3. Melt the second knob of butter in the same frying pan and on a medium heat fry the shallot and red onion for 3 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking.
4. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute, stirring gently but occasionally. Add the mushrooms and pepper and continue to fry gently, stirring, for a further 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened but not burned.
5. Add the contents of the frying pan to the casserole. If necessary, melt a little more butter and then very quickly fry the apple on a high heat just to sear them. Add them and any remaining butter to the casserole.
6. Add the cider and sugar to the casserole, stir and bring to a boil. Season to taste and put the casserole, covered, into the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the chops are cooked. There should be ample liquid but check after 20 or so minutes to ensure that it’s not going dry. Add a little more cider if but only if needed.
