Stuck in a rut? Pick pork medallions
With the surge in online health and food influencers, one would think that we Brits were becoming more adventurous with our recipes, yet there are still a surprising number of people who admit that they are stuck in a rut when it comes to cooking.
Thanks to Love Pork and Rebecca Adlington, we have the perfect recipe video to give your family a new and delicious midweek meal. An unexpected surprise on every level, pork medallions are quick and easy to cook, tasty, versatile and healthy.
Serves 4: Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 15 minutes
Ingredients: 4 pork loin medallions, 1 tbsp rape seed oil, 250g tenderstem broccoli, 250g pak choi, 2 tsp pre-chopped chilli, 1 tsp pre-chopped garlic, 2 inches peeled, sliced ginger, 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Sauce: 6 tbsp low-salt soy sauce, 3 tbsp runny honey, 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, Juice 1 lime
Rice: 2x 250g packets of steamed coconut rice
Method:
- For the sauce, pour all ingredients, except lime juice, into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer and reduce by a third. Add lime juice.
- Pour ½ tbsp of rape seed oil into a frying pan, turn heat to medium high. Tenderise pork medallions to 1cm thickness and cook in pan for 2 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
- When nearly cooked, brush medallions with a little sauce to create a sticky glaze, controlling heat to prevent burning. Remove pork from pan and allow to rest.
- Add remaining oil, tenderstem broccoli and 2 tbsp of water to the pan, cook for 4 minutes on a medium high heat. Add sliced ginger, chilli, garlic, pak choi and 2-3 tbsp of water, toss for 3 minutes until leaves are wilted and veg is cooked. Add sesame seeds.
- Heat rice as per packet instructions. Serve, pile on vegetables and the thinly sliced pork. Pour over warm sauce and enjoy with a squeeze of lime and coriander.
