Method
- Mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl. Add pork, turn to coat and season well. If you have time marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.
- 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.
- 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.

Made this last time with chicken breasts. Tonight with pork steaks...hope it is just as good.
I also only make it for two, and halve the chick peas and meat, but keep everything else the same. Would be too many chick peas for me, but I probably only have about 0.4 of the tin and give OH the rest. He hasn't complained, and has couscous with his as well!
I made this the other night for dinner. It was quick and delicious - really fresh and summery - although I am a fan of zesty flavours so had doubled the lemon. Couldn't agree less with the comment above - to feed four heartily I also had to double the chickpeas, salad and onions. A nice recipe though, and an interesting method that could be adapted to suit all kinds of meats and flavours.
