Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Before you start cooking, take your steak[s] out of the fridge, open the packet and let them adjust to room temperature

Add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Step 1
2

Peel and finely slice your shallot[s]

Slice your green chilli[es] finely

Add the sliced shallot and sliced green chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a large bowl with your cider vinegar, a pinch of salt and sugar and a little drizzle of olive oil

Give everything a good mix up – this is your quick-pickled shallot & chilli

Step 2
3

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Chop your tomato[es] roughly

Drain your sweetcorn

Step 3
4

Cover your pork loin steak[s] in cling film and bash them with a rolling pin until evenly flattened to approx. 1cm in thickness

Season both sides of the pork loin steak[s] with a pinch of salt and pepper and a sprinkling of flour

Step 4
5

Boil half a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the coated pork and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!)

Once cooked through, transfer the cooked pork to a plate to rest and reserve the pan

Step 5
6

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the chopped garlic and your ground smoked paprika to the pan with your chipotle paste, tomato paste and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] flour and stir it all together

Cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add 150ml [225ml] [300ml] boiled water and your chicken stock mix and cook for a further 2-3 min or until thickened – this is your Tex-Mex-style spiced tomato sauce

Step 6
7

Meanwhile, add the chopped tomato and drained sweetcorn to the quick-pickled shallot & chilli and give everything a good mix up – this is your spicy corn salsa

Step 7
8

Slice the rested pork on a clean chopping board and serve on top of the cooked cauliflower rice, then pour the Tex-Mex-style spiced tomato sauce on top

Serve with the spicy corn salsa to the side

Enjoy!
