Pork chops with honey mustard and orange

1)Fry up a couple of onions in olive oil til soft not brown.
2) Add 2 pork chops to the of pan and just colour each side so no longer pink.
3) Remove all to an oil smeared oven dish (eg pyrex) that the meat just fills. (Otherwise honey will spread and stick all over dish and not to chops.)
4) Mix in a bowl a dessert spoon of honey to a dessertspoon of grainy mustard
5) Smear this mixt over the chops then add the grated rind of an orange then the juice. You could add an eggcupful of brandy/ cointreau or orange flav liqueur too if you like. Cover with tinfoil and bake 180degreesC for c. 1 hour depends on quantity. Check after half an hour if too dry add little orange juice from a packet or water if nowt else. remove tinfoil for last 10-15 mins.

Serve with chopped roasted sweet potato (roast in oven at same time) smeared in olive oil plus grated orange peel and juice maybe also bit of rosemary or sage. plus mashed spuds. Yum.

For extra extravagance you could add cream at end too- just spread on chops for last 10 mins.
