chops

Place a sprig of thyme and some lemon zest onto each chop and wrap each one with 4 pieces of streaky bacon. Brown and seal the chops on both sides in a non-stick frying pan, then roast in the oven for about 15 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Combine the cabbage, onion, apple and cranberries in a large bowl. Mix the remaining ingredients together to make a dressing and add to the salad, ensuring that everything is well coated.

To serve, divide the cranberry slaw between four plates and top with a chop each.
