Ingredients

MOJO
COCONUT AND CARROT RICE

Method

1

For mojo sauce, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste.

2

Place half the mojo sauce in a large bowl (reserve remaining sauce for serving); add pork and turn to coat, and stand to marinate (10 minutes).

3

For coconut and carrot rice, heat olive oil in a casserole over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (4-5 minutes). Add carrot, garlic and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant (2-3 minutes). Add rice, stir to coat, then add coconut milk, stock and bay leaves, then bring to the boil. Cover, reduce heat to low; cook until rice is tender (12 minutes). Remove from heat, add spinach and stand to wilt (5 minutes). Season.

4

Drain pork from marinade, pat dry with paper towel and season generously. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook until golden and just cooked through (4-5 minutes each side). Remove from pan and set pork aside loosely covered with aluminium foil to rest (5 minutes).

5

Fluff rice with a fork and stir through kidney beans. Thickly slice pork. Divide rice mixture and pork among shallow bowls. Drizzle with mojo sauce and scatter with extra coriander and thinly sliced green chilli to serve.
