Class Time - The Sauce

Before you begin to make your sauce, time for the leftover veggies – try and make sure your parsnips and potatoes are of a similar size. Place in a foil tray and drizzle with rapeseed or similar oil and season with salt and black pepper. Pop into a pre-heated oven 200c/180fan/Gas 6 for 25 minutes to allow them to finish roasting and become crisp.


Calvados cream sauce

15g unsalted butter
15g plain flour
1 tsp garlic paste or 1 clove, crushed
glug of Calvados
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
200ml stock
300ml double cream
salt and black pepper

Melt the butter, take the pan off the heat, add the flour and whisk. Return to the heat and cook out the flour for 2/3 mins, stirring continuously – add the garlic paste and mustard and then, on a high heat, add the Calvados – cook on high for 1-2 mins. Add the cold stock straight into the sauce and whisk until smooth, then cook on a low heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Add the cream and simmer for 5 minutes.

Serve in bowls with the veggies and then the pork and drizzle with your sauce.

This sauce re-heats very well so you could make ahead, cover and fridge.
