Pork Fillets with Mustard Sauce

This Pork Fillets with Mustard Sauce recipe is an old school family favourite. I can remember eating it just about my whole life and it is still a firm favourite. And not just with me, I know all my sisters still enjoy this dish! I believe it originated from a French neighbour of my parents who taught mum her recipe. And it’s been part of her cooking repertoire ever since! Over the years we have all helped to make it and now cook our own versions for out families. This is my version.

I believe it is quite similar to the original, with no conscious changes that I am aware of. But I know that I do tweak my recipes over time with out even realising so it could be a little different. What I do know its that whenever I cook it, it brings back memories of family dinners as a child and of cooking together with my mum as I learnt the recipe. And now it is one of my families favourites. The girls happily eat the pork (without the sauce for now) and it is a shared favourite for my husband and I. My favourite way to serve it is with my braised fennel & zucchini and some little roasted potatoes but it is also delicious with simple steamed greens and some mash.

For me, what sets the pork fillets with mustard sauce apart is the sauce. It is full of flavour, decadently creamy and delicious without being too heavy thanks to the lemon. In fact, it’s so good that you can’t leave any on your plate. It’s definitely one meal where some bread to mop up the excess sauce will always come in handy!
