1 cup milk

4 pork chops, seasoned

300 gram green seedless grapes

1/3 cup chicken stock

1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Method

1.Place potato in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Boil for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain; return to pan over low heat. Add half the butter and milk; mash until smooth. Season. Set aside and keep warm.

2.Heat half the remaining butter in a frying pan over moderately high heat. Add pork; cook for 4 minutes each side or until cooked. Transfer to a heatproof plate; cover loosely with foil.

3.Add grapes, stock, vinegar and thyme to same pan over moderate heat. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring, for 3 minutes or until grapes start to soften and split. Add remaining butter; stir until butter melts and sauce is glossy. Spoon mash onto serving plates. Top with pork, then sauce. Serve with salad.

You can use 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme instead of fresh. Choose a potato variety that is suitable for mashing. Serve balsamic grapes with roast pork or chicken.
