Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the sliced onion and cook gently for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured. Stir through the crushed garlic and cook for another couple of minutes, then transfer everything from the pan to a bowl. 
  2. Turn the heat up and add another splash of oil, if need be. Season the pork medallions and add to the pan, browning for a minute or so on each side. Return the onions to the pan, then pour in the wine and add the thyme sprigs. Bubble for a minute or so to cook off most of the alcohol, then add the chicken stock and simmer gently for 4-5 minutes, turning once, until the pork is cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the lentils according to the pack instructions, then fold through the wilted spinach. Taste, season and set aside. Stir the cream through the pork mixture and bubble for a couple of minutes more. Serve the pork medallions on top of the lentils with some of the sauce and onions spooned over.

  1. A quick way to wilt spinach is to put it in a colander in the sink, then pour over a kettle of just-boiled water. Once the spinach is wilted, squeeze out all the water using a potato masher.
