  1. Boil, steam or microwave celeriac and potatoes together until very tender. Drain, then place in a large bowl. Add milk and mash together until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Add pork to pan and cook for 3–4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover in foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in same pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add cider and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1–2 minutes or until reduced slightly. Add stock and mustard and simmer for 4 minutes or until reduced slightly. Add cream and simmer for 1 minute, then stir in chopped chives.
