Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork. Pan-fry for 2-3 min per side, until golden.
- Remove from heat, then transfer pork to an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, until cooked through.**
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Set pork aside to a cutting board to rest, 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, cut four sections off of the plum, avoiding the pit. Cut each section into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Slice cucumber into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then finely chop shallot.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-low.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then plums, shallots and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until shallots soften and water evaporates.
- Add whole grain mustard, half the Dijon, half the vinegar, half the fig spread and 1/2 cup (1 cup water). Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until fig spread melts and sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together remaining fig spread, remaining Dijon, remaining vinegar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. (This is your salad dressing.)
- Add spinach and cucumbers, then toss to combine.
- Thinly slice pork.
- Stir any pork juices from the plate into mostarda sauce.
- Divide salad and pork between plates.
- Spoon mostarda sauce over pork.
- Sprinkle salad topping mix and feta cheese over top of salad.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the plum sauce with pork, but some found the dish overly acidic or sour due to the vinegar and mustard.
- Ease of prep: The recipe was generally easy to follow, though some had trouble thickening the sauce or found the cooking time longer than expected.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing the vinegar in both the salad dressing and sauce; caramelize the plums for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Portions: Several reviewers mentioned feeling hungry after the meal, suggesting larger portions or an additional side dish might be beneficial.
- Texture: Some found the pork chops a bit tough; consider using pork loin for a more tender result.
