Pork chops with red wine, apple and onion sauce, served with mashed potatoes and carrots

Adaptation of something I found from Martha Stewart, plus a little bit extra. Came out wonderfully well - very recommend.

Ingredients:
4-6 potatoes, peeled and chopped up
2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped up
1 onion, finely diced
Butter and milk (for mash)
4 pork chops, seasoned and covered with mustard
Oil
A big chunk of butter
2-3 apples (depending on size), cored and sliced thin
2-3 onions, sliced
1 cup red wine (it's very important you use red wine - it gives it a lovely taste)
Mustard to serve

Boil your potatoes and carrots until they are soft enough to mash. Add in diced onion, butter and milk (enough to make it interesting, but not so much that you're eating mashed potato soup). Season to taste and then put to one side.

Pour a bit of oil into a large grill pan or frying pan, and once heated, put the pork chops in and brown for 5 minutes on one side, then flip over and brown on the other for another 5. Remove from the pan and add the apples and onions, cooking until the onions are soft. Add in your wine to deglaze the pan, then return your chops to the pan, cover the chops with some of the onion and apple mix, and cook over a medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. Serve over the mash and with some mustard on the side.
