1 tablespoon smoked paprika |
4 tablespoons maple syrup |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 large pork loin chops |
sea salt |
ground pepper |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard |
8 3/4 ounces greens |

Directions:
1. Mix the paprika, maple syrup and two tablespoons of the vegetable oil together in a bowl, and rub into the pork chops.
2. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or longer.
3. Preheat the oven to 340°F
4. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and gently pan-fry each chop on both sides, until they start to blacken.
5. Using tongs, hold the chop at right angles to the pan to colour the strip of fat as well, then transfer to a baking dish.
6. Bake for 25 minutes until tender and cooked through.

10. Serve the chops with the greens and the mustard mayonnaise.
