Ingredients

  • tbsp olive oil 
  • tsp rosemary finely chopped
  • cloves garlic crushed
  • 0.5  juice of lemon 
  •  pork steaks boneless trimmed of fat
  •  onion red finely sliced
  • tbsp sherry vinegar 
  • 800 chickpeas rinsed drained canned

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl.
  2. Add pork, turn to coat and season well. If you have time marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. Bubble down for 1 min, until the onion has softened a little and the dressing thickened slightly. Stir through chickpeas, some salt and pepper and any of the resting juices from the pork. Put salad leaves into a bowl, tip in the pan contents and gently toss, before eating immediately with the pork.
