Notes:

• Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
• I like to serve this with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies.
• Feel free to use chicken instead of pork for this recipe.
• You can use yellow mustard instead of Dijon mustard.
