This speedy pork dish is a flavoursome midweek meal. You could swap the butter beans with chickpeas.
Ingredients
- 2 small handfuls of parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 30g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 10g grated Parmesan or Grana Padano
- The zest of 1 lemon
- 2 pork loin steaks
- ½ tsp olive tapenade
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 40g chorizo, cut into chunks
- 420g can butter beans
- A squeeze of lemon juice
Method
- 1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Mix 1 small handful of parsley leaves with breadcrumbs, Parmesan and lemon zest.
- 2. Season the pork, brush 1 side of each with ½ tsp olive tapenade and press the breadcrumb mixture on top. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof pan and fry the pork, crust-side up, for 6 minutes, then pop under the grill for 4 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the crust is brown (watch it doesn’t burn).
- 3. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, gently fry 1 red onion in 1 tbsp olive oil until softened. Add chorizo and fry until crisp, then stir in the butter beans and a splash of hot water. Bubble for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
- 4. Stir in lots of seasoning, a squeeze of lemon juice and 1 small handful parsley leaves. Serve with the crusted pork.
