Method

Salsa

1. Chop the sundried tomatoes & olives. Prepare the remaining ingredients as described in the recipe card
2. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine

Pork

1. Line your chopping board with cling film and place a pork chop on top with another layer of cling film on top
2. Using a heavy weight, rolling pin, saucepan or your fists smash the pork until it’s about 1cm thick
3. Season generously and sear in a hot cast iron pan for approx. 2mins per side
4. Allow to rest for 2-3mins before serving
5. Serve with some mashed potatoes or salad of your choice

Tips/Tricks

• The salsa can be prepared in advance and so can the smashing of the pork so it’s a great dish to serve quickly at a dinner party
• Always rest your meat before serving
• Not a pork fan? Try serving this with a pounded chicken breast instead
• To get a good sear make sure your pan is good and hot before adding your meat – otherwise it’ll just steam it and you won’t get that nice crust/sear
