Ingredients
  

For the butter:

  • 100g butter slightly soft
  • 0.5 tsp tomato purée
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the chops:

  • 4 x large pork chops
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • First make the tomato and smoked paprika butter. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Wrap in cling film or baking parchment, roll into a log and chill in the fridge until firm.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and rub with a little oil. Heat a griddle pan and fry the chops for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on thickness) on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve on warm plates with a few slices of the butter melting over them.
  • Serve with potatoes, vegetables or salad of your choice - we've tried baked potatoes, boiled new potatoes and mashed potatoes - all delicious!

Notes

  • If you make the whole recipe for the butter and have some left over, don’t worry, it can easily be popped in the freezer and used the next time – just take it out of the freezer in advance to defrost a bit so that it’s easier to slice.
