Ingredients:

  • 4 pork chops, bone in
  • 1 small log of black pudding, diced
  • 100g baby spinach, washed
  • 240g chickpeas, cooked
  • 50g butter
  • A few sage leaves
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • Rapeseed oil
  • Sea salt

    Method:
  1. To cook the pork chop: heat some oil in a large frying pan. Sear the pork chops on both sides until nicely browned. When you’re happy with the colour, add the butter and the sage to the pan. Baste the chops for a few minutes. Place the chop in a 180˚C and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes.
  2. In a clean pan, fry the black pudding in a little oil. Add the chickpeas and the chicken stock and bring to the boil. In the last minute, add the spinach.
     

To Serve:
