MASH
Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the chopped potatoes and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain on completion, and mash with a Potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a splash of milk or water and a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. Season and cover to keep warm.
NUTS
Place the flaked Almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.
Pork
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Pat the Pork fillet dry with paper towel, coat in oil, and season to taste. When the pan is hot, sear the pork for 3-4 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours. On completion, it should be browned but not cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan.
SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Return the pan to a medium heat with another drizzle of oil, if necessary. Once hot, add the diced Onion, the pear wedges and the picked sage leaves. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the pear has slightly softened. Mix through the stock, 25ml of boiling water and the Dijon mustard. Add the pork fillet and simmer for 7-8 minutes until the sauce has reduced by ⅓ and the pork is fully cooked. Season with a squeeze of Lemon juice and salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. Remove the pork from the sauce and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Slice and lightly season the slices.
BROCCOLI
