Ingredients
- 2tablespoons vegetable oil
- Âľpound uncooked lean pork, like loin, or lean butchers' trimmings
- 1clove garlic, chopped
- 1small onion, chopped
- 1stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 1carrot, thinly sliced

- 1bay leaf
- 1teaspoon tomato paste
- ½cup white wine
- 2½cups chicken stock or low-sodium canned broth
- 1tablespoon whole grain-mustard, like as Pommery
Preparation
- Step 1
Place a strainer lined with cheesecloth over a medium bowl; set aside. In a heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the pork. Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn meat, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then add remaining tablespoon of oil, and garlic. Stir for 1 minute. Add onion, celery, carrot, mustard seeds and bay leaf. Saute until vegetables have softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Add tomato paste to the pan, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with wine, scraping up all bits on the side and bottom. Reduce until almost dry, then add stock. Reduce by half and strain into a clean pan. Stir in mustard and keep warm. Spoon over sliced pork.

Flavor is tangy and rich with a bit of a kick from the mustard. The texture is a bit thin (could add a bit of gelatin and/or flour to thicken, if desired). I would strain through a fine mesh sieve, no cheese cloth next time - cloth added to mess and as I am not cooking at a fine dining restaurant a little bit of mustard seed slipping through is okay for me.
