Method
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Remove the pork chops from the fridge; drizzle over 1 tbsp oil, season and rub to coat. Cover and set aside.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a deep, ovenproof frying pan or shallow, flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Fry the red onion for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelised. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for another 2 mins. Stir in the mustard and butter beans, along with the liquid from the tins. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer, then transfer the pan to the oven for 15 mins.
3. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a high heat. Sear the pork for 1 min each side until browned. Sear for an extra 30 secs on the fat edge (this may need to be done in batches). Transfer to a plate.
4. Stir the spinach through the beans (it will wilt down), then top with the pork and any juices. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins, until the pork is just cooked and the beans are thickened. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

This looks like another good one!
This sounds tasty. And I love that you don't have to cook each part separately. Happy new week to you Jan.
Yum on the sesame seeds butter option.
Looks interesting that food, Jan.
Buonissimo questo secondo piatto.
Mi piace molto anche l'idea della combo spinaci e fagioli
Looks like a great recipe. Thanks Jan and have a wonderful New Year.
Dear Jan thank you for the recipe
Sending lots of love and best wishes to you and yours 🥰🙏
Thank you, now I know what to do with my beans here!
Needs more sauce.
I like pork chops cooked with olive oil, red onion, garlic and thyme. I eat very little spinach because it contains calcium oxalates ... I also eat walnuts which contain calcium oxalates.
Greetings,

That looks so delicious and everything goes together perfectly.

Jan, this looks amazing! I'm definitely going to be giving it a try. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I just did a frittata for breakfast this morning in my big cast iron skillet. This looks another reason to be using it again soon. :)
I'd use chicken instead of pork--looks great!
The veggie ones looks really good :-D

This looks scrumptious.
I'm going to have to get some butter beans now.
