Method

Boil 1.1 liters of water with brine ingredients, strain, and chill overnight. Brine pork chops in this liquid overnight.

Fry shallots, peppercorns, thyme, and bay leaf in oil until tender.

Deglaze with vinegar, wine, and brandy, and reduce until almost dry.

Add stocks and reduce again before stirring in 200ml cream and straining.

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, then peel and pass through a ricer while hot.

Fry brined pork chops in butter and oil for 3.5 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes.

Whisk mashed potatoes with 150g melted butter and 150ml cream until smooth.

Stir cornichons, capers, mustard, and parsley into the warmed sauce and serve with carved pork and purée.
