Speedy pork with spring greens recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 boneless pork loin steaks, each weighing about 140g/5oz
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • a generous pinch of dried chilli flakes
  • 140g shredded spring greens
  • 410g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Method

  • To cook the pork, heat the oil in a deep frying pan that’s big enough to fit the greens later. Season the steaks all over with salt and pepper and fry over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep hot on a warmed plate or in a low oven.

  • To wilt the greens, tip the garlic and chilli flakes into the same pan and cook for about 30 seconds until sizzling but not browned, then pour in 5 tablespoons water and toss in the greens. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the greens wilt. Stir in the chickpeas and any juices from the pork and continue stirring until everything’s hot. Serve a mound of greens topped with a steak and any juices.
