Method

Ingredients

Trim any excess fat from the chops and then moisten with oil and season. Fry fat side down until crisp, then brown the meat on both sides. Spoon over the caper dressing.

Serve with potatoes (see below) and garnish generously with rocket.

Slash a cross on each scrubbed potato, then microwave until soft. Smash with a potato masher. Place on an oiled grill pan. Moisten with olive oil and season with salt.

Slide under a hot grill for about 5 minutes or until crisp and golden.
