1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, season the chops then fry until browned. Remove, add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes until soft and caramelised. Add the cider, bring to a bubble and reduce a little. Add the cream and mustard, stir, bring to a simmer then put the chops back in and cook for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, cook the spinach in a large pan or wok with a knob of butter and some seasoning until wilted. Serve the chops and sauce with the spinach.

  Quick and easy and very flavoursome. The cider tastes fantastic with the pork. I used steamed cabbage instead of spinach because that's what I had in the fridge, and it went really well! Will be making again!

  Very nice and quick the only thing i would change I would reduce the amount of onions to half or use shallots for a milder flavor. Great dish

  I will be making this for my boyfriends birthday - 26th Nov - He loves Pork chops and this is such a great way to cook it. Plus he loves Spinach so i think I'm on to a winner already. Ive also been thinking of adding some mashed potato, so i think i will do what Fusion did and use Sweet potato, and a couple of corn on the cobb. Yumbo. I will be back to let you know how it went.

  Quick and easy to make. Really yummy. I served it with a half potato and half sweet potato mash. Would use less onion next time though .
