Ingredients
SERVES 4
- 600 g (21 oz) pork fillet, thinly sliced
- 400 g (14 oz) cauliflower, cut into florets
- Dash of preferred milk
- 200 g (7 oz) broccoli, steamed
SALSA VERDE
- 2 garlic cloves, 30 g (1 oz) parsley, 10 g (0.3 oz) mint, 10 g (0.3 oz) cilantro, 1 tbsp capers, 25 g (0.85 oz) jalapeño, 6 anchovies, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp mustard, 3 tbsp olive oil
Directions
- To make the salsa verde, put all the salsa ingredients into a blender and blend until pesto consistency.
- Bring a pot of water to boil (just enough water to cover the cauliflower). Boil cauliflower for 10 minutes or until soft enough to mash. Check by pricking with a knife. Drain water. Add a dash of milk and mash with a potato masher.
- Heat a frypan to medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Lay in pork slices and cook for a few minutes until golden.
- Turn pork over and cook until cooked through. To check that the pork is cooked, take one slice out and cut it in half to check that the meat is not pink in the middle.
- Add salsa verde and stir, so the meat is all coated.
- Serve with cauliflower mash and steamed broccoli.
