Introduction

These recipes always take me longer than 15 minutes, but for a whole meal, including sides they are still QUICK.

I have adapted this recipe by using normal rice in the microwave, rather than the more expensive 10 minute rice. I have also adjusted some pack sizes to match those I most frequently buy.

Ingredients

    SAUCE:
    2 mixed-colour peppers
    1 red onion
    1 carrot
    1 bulb of fennel
    1 eating apple
    olive oil
    2 tsp sweet smoked paprika,
    plus extra to serve
    4-5 fresh bay leaves
    4 cloves of garlic
    2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    500g passata
    Possibly some extra water depending on thickness of sauce

    PORK:
    500g pork fillet
    1 tsp ground coriander

    TO SERVE:
    300g (1 mug) brown rice
    wholegrain
    70g rocket
    1 lemon
    4 tbsp fat-free natural yoghurt

Directions

The key to 15 minute meals is to have everything ready before you begin.

because we're using ordinary brown rice we need to get that going first, though.
Place the brown rice in a microwave safe container with 800ml boiling water, cover, vent and microwave for 25 minutes.

Now: * Ingredients out, * Food processor (thick slicer), * Large casserole pan, medium heat, * Medium Iidded pan, medium heat, * Griddle pan, high heat

START COOKING
1. Deseed the peppers, peel and halve the onion, trim the carrot, trim and quarter the fennel (reserving any leafy tops), then slice them all in the processor with the apple.

2. Put 2 tablespoons of oil into the casserole pan, tip in the sliced veg, add the paprika and bay leaves, squash in the unpeeled garlic through a garlic crusher, season with salt and pepper, and fry, stirring regularly.

3. Slice the pork into medallions, flatten them slightly with your fist, then rub with salt, pepper, the ground coriander and 1 teaspoon of oil, then put on the griddle pan until cooked through, turning when nicely charred.

4. Add the balsamic and passata to the peppers, season to taste and bring to the boil.

5. Sprinkle the rice with an extra dusting of paprika. Dress the rocket in the bag with the lemon juice and a small pinch of salt, then fold most of it through the sauce. Tip the sauce on to a platter, place the charred pork on top and scatter with the remaining rocket. Drizzle with the yoghurt, scatter over any reserved fennel tops and serve with the fluffy rice.

    Very Good
    We made it with chicken breasts we had on hand rather than pork medallions. The fennel is very subtle and the apple gives it a sweetness that is different from the usual ratatouille, or vegetable curry. Delicious! - 6/29/14
