Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    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.

This was very tasty I added some red onion, garlic, mushrooms and a pinch of Chinese five spice too. This is a good recipe to add whatever you have hanging in your fridge, I'm going to make it tonight and add some cubed courgette.

I added a little butter to the pan when frying the pork, which I think helps to give a lovely colour and flavour. After removing the pork, I added roughly a glass of white wine to the pan to clean up all of the stickiness left behind, and cooked and reduced this before adding the spring greens which…
