Ingredients

  • 1 red onion
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 250g basmati rice
  • 1 British free-range pork loin (about 400g)
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon
  • ½ tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2½ tbsp crème fraîche
  • Handful fresh parsley

To serve (optional)

 

  • Steamed seasonal greens

Method

  1. Finely slice the onion, then mix with the vinegar and sugar in a glass or ceramic bowl.
  2. Put the rice in a large pan with 500ml water. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the pork loin into 2cm thick slices. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the pork slices for 5 minutes, turning, or until they take on some colour.
  4. Squeeze the lemon juice over the pork, then add the mustard and crème fraîche. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, taste and season.
  5. Serve the pork straightaway with the drained rice, pickled onion and a good scattering of chopped parsley, with a side of seasonal greens if you like.
