Transfer the pan to the oven for 15 minutes until the chops are cooked. Wash and drain the spinach. Drain the onion, pat dry with kitchen paper, then mix with the 1 tbsp sherry vinegar and a pinch of salt. Toss the spinach in a pan over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until wilted with no liquid.
- Put the olives, mint, the onion and spinach in a bowl. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, the remaining sherry vinegar and feta. Season, toss and serve with the chops.

Pit olives easily by rolling on a board and pressing with your thumb, just off centre, to ease out the stone – be gentle, they can spurt juice.
