Method

  1. In a large pan, fry the onion in 1 tsp of oil until softened. Add the ground spices and 1 tsp cumin; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cabbage, dates, sugar, cranberry juice and vinegar. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  2. Between 2 sheets of clingfilm, bash each steak with a rolling pin to 1/2cm (1/4in) thick. On a plate, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining cumin. Dust each steak in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally turn to coat in the breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat the remaining oil between 2 large nonstick frying pans. Fry 2 steaks per pan, over a high heat, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden. Serve with the cabbage and a handful of rocket.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

The pork chops can be frozen - once they have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. Loosely cover with foil and bake until dish is thoroughly heated through. Reheat until piping hot.
