In case you’re stuck in a recipe rut, here is a favourite to add to your repertoire from the great Sasha Conlan, founder of @sashasfinefoods 🍽

Pork Chops with Apple and Creamy Mashed Potato🥔

Ingredients:
- 2 Wicks Manor English Pork Chops
- 250ml Our Very Own Chicken Stock
- 2 heaped tablespoons sour cream or full-fat crème fraiche
- 15g butter
- 1 pink lady apple, cut horizontally to create 1⁄2 cm round slices, with seeds removed
- 1 heaped tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Rapeseed oil or Vasse Virgin Rich & Robust Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- New (chat) potatoes for mash and cooked savoy cabbage to accompany

Instructions:
1. Heat a large heavy-based, non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
2. Oil and season the chops. Place them in the hot pan.
3. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, plus another 2 minutes on the fat edge to ensure the chops are beautifully browned. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate under foil.
4. Wipe the pan of any blackened bits, drizzle with a little oil and melt in the butter over a medium heat.
5. Once foaming, add the apple slices and cook for 2 1/2 minutes per side until softened and golden, but still retaining a little bite. Remove from the pan.
6. Add the chicken stock, sour cream or crème fraiche, and mustard to the pan. Whisk until blended. Bring to a gentle simmer.
7. Return the pork to the pan and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, turning the chops once halfway through until the meat is just cooked. Do not overcook the pork as it may turn tough.
8. Transfer the chops to plates, pour over the sauce and add the apple slices.
9. Serve with mashed potato and cooked Savoy cabbage🍴

CLOSES NOV 3!

Thanks Vivian from @thevivagroupsg for teaching us some great pilates moves, this ones the shoulder bridge ✨

Have a go by following these steps!
#1 Lay down on the mat with your knees bent at hip-distance apart; arms should be to the side of your hips and fingertips skimming your heels.
#2 Contract your abdominals and glutes; then, lift your hips up towards the ceiling, creating a long line from the shoulders to knees. Squeeze your glutes to lift your hips higher, while maintaining the connection with your abdominals.
#3 Using your glutes to keep your hips high and level, lift your left leg up to table-top position and then reach your toes up towards the ceiling, straightening your leg, and lengthening it through your hamstrings.
#4 Flex your ankle, reaching your heel away. Then lower your leg to the height of your other knee without losing the connection through your glutes, hamstrings and abdominals, and keeping your hips up.
#5 Lift your leg up, reaching your toes towards the ceiling, and repeat the lower and lift motion twice more.
#6 Bend your knee back to table-top position, lower your feet to the mat, squeeze your glutes and abs to lift your hips higher (that’s one rep!). Then switch legs.
Repeat two or three repetitions on each side🌿
