Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potatoes and cut into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the carrot (unpeeled) into half-moons. Slice the zucchini into thin batons. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the tarragon leaves and finely chop to get 2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people. TIP: Tarragon has a strong aniseed flavour, use less if you're not a fan!
Add the potato to the saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk, the salt and wholegrain mustard (see ingredients list) to the saucepan with the potato. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover with a lid to keep warm. TIP: Add as little or as much mustard as you like according to your taste.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until soft. Add the baby spinach leaves and cook for 1 minute or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the pork loin steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. When the oil is hot, add the pork and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside to rest. TIP: It's fine to serve pork slightly blushing in the centre.
Return the frying pan to a low heat. Add the cooking cream (see ingredients list) to the pan and crumble in the chicken stock (1/2 cube for 2 people / 1 cube for 4 people). Add the chopped tarragon to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, or until warmed and the tarragon flavour has infused. Stir through any resting juices from the pork and season to taste with salt. TIP: Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, they'll add extra flavour to the sauce!
Divide the mustard mash and garlic veggies between plates. Serve with the seared pork topped with tarragon sauce. TIP: For the low-calorie option, serve with 1/2 the tarragon sauce.
