Step 1
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high. Add pork chunks and brown, stirring occasionally, until edges caramelize, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour broth over pork. Add shallot and thyme. Simmer covered for 12 minutes until pork is tender and broth reduces slightly.
Step 3
Dissolve gelatin in 3 tablespoons cold water, then stir into hot broth. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in mustard and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Pour mixture into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight until set firm.
Step 6
Unmold onto a cutting board, slice 1/2-inch thick, and serve cold or toast lightly in a skillet until golden.
