Cooking Steps
1
- Season pork loin steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- When oil is hot, cook pork steaks until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
- Transfer to a plate, cover and rest for 5 minutes.
2
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas.
- Grate carrot.
- Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Finely chop garlic.
3
- While the pork is resting, wash out frying pan and return to medium-heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Add carrot and chickpeas and cook until tender and warmed through, a further 3-5 minutes.
- Add tomato & herb seasoning, garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Stir in the water and baby leaves until slightly thickened and wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and gently crush chickpeas with a potato masher or fork. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the chickpeas look dry.
