Ingredients
VEGGIE RICE
- 1 corn cob, husk and silk removed
- 1 1/2 cups basmati rice
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 2–3 spring onions, dark green part only (optional, adults)
- 1/2 bag baby spinach leaves
TOMATO APPLE SALSA
- 1 tomato
- 1 apple
- 1/2 telegraph cucumber
- 2–3 spring onions, white and pale green part only
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons mild sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
PAPRIKA GRILLED PORK
- 450g pork scotch steaks
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mild paprika spice mix
Steps
-
BBQ grill or hot plate to high (if using).
-
Stand corn cob on its end on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to slice down to remove kernels. Combine rice, water and salt and corn in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid at any time during cooking.
-
Dice tomato, apple and cucumber 1cm; thinly slice spring onions (keep dark green part separate for rice). Add all to a medium bowl with lemon juice, sweet chilli sauce and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
-
Pat pork dry with paper towels, remove any excess fat, and cut steaks in half. Place on a plate, drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and sprinkle with mild paprika spice mix to coat.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan (preferably non-stick) on high heat. Cook pork for 2–3 minutes each side, for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Alternatively cook on BBQ. Set aside, covered with foil, to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly
-
While pork rests, roughly chop spinach. Gently fold through cooked rice, along with spring onions (dark green part), if desired.
-
Divide veggie rice between plates, top with pork and a generous spoonful of tomato apple salsa.
