Serves 4 Prep 8 mins plus optional marinating Cook 12 mins

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp finely chopped rosemary

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

4 boneless pork steaks, trimmed of fat 1 red onion, finely sliced

2 tbsp sherry vinegar

2 x 400g can chickpeas, rinsed

and drained

110g bag mixed salad leaves

1 Mix the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl. Add the pork, turn to coat and season well. If you have time, marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.

2 Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Lift the pork out of the marinade, shaking off any

excess and reserving the marinade for later. Cook the pork in the pan for 3-4 mins each side or until cooked through. Rest on a plate while you make the salad.

3 Pour the reserved marinade into the pan with the onion. Cook for 1 min over a high heat before adding the vinegar, plus 3 tbsp water. Simmer for 1 min, until the onion has softened a little and the dressing has thickened slightly. Stir through the chickpeas, some salt and pepper and any of the resting juices from the pork. Put the salad leaves into a bowl, tip in the pan contents and gently toss, before eating immediatel­y with the pork.
