Method

  1. 1

    Toss the pork with the cumin, oregano, garlic and orange juice.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a pan and fry the pork over high heat for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp at the edges and cooked through. Roughly chop.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile mix the pineapple, red onion, coriander, a squeeze of lime juice and chilli flakes for the salsa.

  4. 4

    Warm the rice.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve the shredded pork over the rice, topped with the pineapple salsa and remaining lime wedges.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander, 120 g pork loin steak and 150 g pineapple chunks. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
