Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut pork chops
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp BlixSam Smoke Craft

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with BlixSam Smoke Craft and BlixSam Lemon Melt.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

4. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same pan.
5. Add the garlic and spring onions, cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened.
6. Allow the spices left in the pan to bloom with the butter for even more flavour.
7. Stir in the Dijon mustard (if using), then pour in the fresh cream.
8. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
9. Stir in the cheddar cheese (optional) until melted and smooth.
