  Simple and easy, and ready in 30 mins, and to top it off it tastes great, what more can you ask for.

  This was surprisingly delicious. I made this to use up the greens I received in my vegetable box this week. It went down very well with my husband and I, the kids weren't so impressed. I had to cook the greens longer than suggested as the crunch was a little too crunchy but that could have just been this batch of veg being a bit tough. I also put the pork back into the pan and placed it on top of the greens to keep it warm. I will make this again.

  Cheap and very easy - we found this portion of veg served 2 rather than 4. Versatile, we used a can of mixed pulses one night as we had no chick peas, I also added wedges of red onion and chilli to bulk it out a bit.

  Wow! Very tasty, quick, and healthy. Didn't have chickpeas in cupboard, so used can of haricot and can of black eyed beans as thats all I had, (and this worked very well indeed) and increased quantity of greens accordingly (feeding 4). Pork chops were from our own pig, so were delicious and juicy. Very much look forward to doing this again, with the chickpeas.

  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 I think adds a bit more oomph to the juices. Despite there only being a few ingredients, I thought this was very tasty, and certainly easy to rustle up.
