For the celeriac remoulade: Grate the celeriac root on the large side of a box grater. Transfer to a bowl, squeeze over lemon juice and mix well.
Mix mayonnaise, Dijon, green chilli, soy sauce, parsley and spring onion. Stir in the grated celeriac. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste.
Pork chops: Rub pork chops with garlic and salt on both sides. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the pork chops until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes. Turn over, add butter to the pan and while the other side is cooking, continue to baste the pork with the melted butter for a further 1-2 minutes. Remove the chop from the pan and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Add another teaspoon of butter to the frying pan and combine it with the pork cooking juices to make a lovely butter sauce.
Serve: Divide celeriac remoulade between plates, place pork chop alongside it, and a large spoon of apple date sauce.
Notes
Serving suggestion: Goes very nicely with a glass of whiskey or bourbon
