A colourful and tasty way to jazz up meat and three veg!
Ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus, woody ends removed

To Serve:

Method
- Cut asparagus spears into 2 or 3 pieces.

- Heat pan over medium to high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and stir-fry capsicums and asparagus for 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Combine mustard, honey and vinegar in a small bowl and stir through vegetables on stove until heated through.
- Arrange vegetables on serving plates. Top with pork chop and a dollop of Dijonnaise mustard, cracked black pepper and parsley.
Tips
