Grilled pork neck with asparagus and mustard sauce
Ingredients
Pork neck
Pound the pork neck with a meat mallet just enough to even it out and tenderize it slightly. Brush each slice with a bit of olive oil (20 ml) on both sides.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
Let the meat rest for 10–15 minutes at room temperature.
Heat the grill pan (or regular grill) over medium-high heat.
Place the meat on the grill, cover it, and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, until it forms a nice crust and is cooked through. Cover the meat with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold running water and snap off the woody ends – they will break naturally when bent. Pat the spears dry with a paper towel.
Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil (10 ml) and toss well to coat each spear evenly. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Place the asparagus on the grill in a single layer and cook for 4–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and the spears are tender but slightly crisp.
Mustard sauce
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté without letting it brown.
Pour in the cooking cream, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the mustard, honey, and lemon juice, then stir until well combined.
Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
Let the sauce simmer over low heat for 2–3 minutes, until it slightly thickens. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 1–2 minutes before serving.
