Heat a little oil in a large frying pan. Season the chops with a little salt and black pepper. Add to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

Wipe out the pan with a piece of kitchen paper. Put the pan back on the heat and add a knob of butter over a medium heat. Add the apple wedges to the pan and cook gently for a couple of minutes.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl then add them to the pan to heat up. Season with a little salt and black pepper.

Divide the leaves and sliced mange tout between four plates. Place a chop on top, add the apples and spoon over the dressing from the pan.

Sprinkle over the pecan nuts and serve.
