Prep time: 1 hrs and 0 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

4 British pork loin steaks, fat removed
3 fresh chillies
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon runny honey
Salt and pepper
250g white rice
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 stock cube (optional)
2 mixed peppers, deseeded and diced
Tenderstem or normal broccoli
1 lemon
Fresh coriander

Method

Step 1

To a food processor, add the 2-3 fresh chillies (de-seeded if you prefer less spice), oil, smoked paprika, oregano, honey and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Blitz to combine all of the ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.  

Step 2

Add the pork loin steaks into the bowl and coat with the marinade. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, if you have the time.  

Step 3

When it’s time to eat, preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Allow to get hot, reduce the heat, then place the loin steaks into the pan. I pan-fried two at a time so that they wouldn’t overlap – this helps to get the best sear. 

Step 4

Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side depending on thickness, then set aside. 

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook your rice according to packet instructions, adding the turmeric into the pan for colour. For an extra boost of flavour, you can also add a stock cube at this point. Add the diced  peppers to the saucepan with the rice halfway through the cooking time.

Step 6

Steam the  broccoli for around 5 minutes, then lightly season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.  

Step 7

Assemble your peri peri style rice bowls with all of the elements and top with fresh coriander and a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
