Cooking Instructions
- Finely slice the shallot. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the pork, spice mix and half the shallot. Cook for 3-5 mins, until golden brown. Season lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
- Halve the tomatoes and add them to the pan along with the tomato puree and 100ml of water. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the pork cooked through.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa; finely dice the nectarine. Finely slice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Roughly chop the coriander. Add all to a mixing bowl, along with the remaining shallot and the juice of the lime (or to taste) and 2 tsp olive oil. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Add the mange tout and a pinch of sea salt, cook for 1-2 minutes until deep golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Reheat the pan to medium-high heat. Add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add 50ml water, the coconut cream and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot.
- Serve the spicy pork alongside the coconut rice, mange tout and nectarine salsa.
