Warm Rhubarb and Red Cabbage Salad with Herb-crumbed Pork Chops

Warm Rhubarb and Red Cabbage Salad with Herb-crumbed Pork Chops

By OcadoLifePublished on 02 December 2021Sweet and tart rhubarb makes a zesty alternative to apple in this striking warm salad – it works perfectly with the pork, cutting through the richness of the meat. Crispy, herby breadcrumbs are the final flourish to give not only extra flavour but some satisfying crunch to this dish, best enjoyed from late winter to early spring.

  • Step 2

    Rub the pork chops with 1tbsp of oil, season and put under the grill. Cook each side for 10 mins (they may need a little longer if you’re using large chops).

  • Step 3

    Meanwhile, mix the thyme leaves with the breadcrumbs. Season and stir through 1tbsp of oil. In a dry frying pan add the breadcrumbs and toast on a high heat until they start to turn a little golden.

  • Step 4

    Your chops should now be ready, allow to rest for 2 mins while you add the chives and parsley to the salad.

  • Step 5

    Now plate everything up and scatter the herb crumbs over the pork with a little extra drizzle of olive oil.
