- Remove mint leaves from half the stems (use all for 4 servings), then finely chop.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan.
- Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)

- Add 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil to the same pan, then peppers.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.

- In a small microwave-proof bowl, melt 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter. Add Harissa Spice Blend and half the honey (use all for 4 servings). Stir to combine. (NOTE: This is for your pork chops.)
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- Meanwhile, pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
