Pork & gammon
Pork chops with sage and onion gravy
'It is such a doddle to make a good gravy with pork, would that it were as easy with other meats and poultry. Add onions and sage and there is really no need to use stock or bouillon. Make some creamy mashed potatoes, cook up your favourite vegetables and enjoy all with lashings of this delicious sauce.' (Ben Watson)
