Hearty enough for winter, yet fruity enough for summer, this is a great dish in any season. If there are any left overs why not try folding into a tortilla wrap for a tasty burrito. Ingredients (Serves 4-6) For the Stew: 1kg of Pork Loin 2 Onions 1 Pineapple (peeled, cored and cut into chunks) 3 Carrots (peeled and cut into rough dice) 1 pint of Beef Stock 3 Red Peppers (de-seeded and cut into chunks) 1 Green Chilli (de-seeded and finely chopped) 1 Can of peeled chopped tomatoes A splash of dry Sherry (optional) 2 cloves of Garlic (finely chopped) Plain flour 1 tbsp Spice Union Smokey Mexican Chilli Powder 1 tsp Salt For the Rice: 1 tsp Pepper Vegetable Oil or long grain rice (measure ½ pint of Basmati
Pork and Pineapple with Coriander Rice & Pinto Beans
in a measuring jug or a half pint glass)
For thebunch Rice: 1 small of Coriander ½ pint of Basmati or long grain rice 1(measure Can of Pintoin Beans (drained andjug rinsed) a measuring or a half pint glass) 2 ½ pints of Chicken or Vegetable Stock (boiling 1atsmall bunch of Coriander time of use) 1 Can of Pinto Beans ½ tsp of Cumin Seeds (drained and rinsed) 2Vegetable ½ pintsOilof Chicken or Vegetable Stock (boiling at time of use) Salt andofpepper ½ tsp Cumin Seeds Vegetable Oil Salt and pepper Method: The Stew Trim any fatty bits from the Pork Loin and cut into large cubes (about 5cm, but don’t worry about being exact). Roll in plain flour and shake off the excess. Put a couple of glugs of veg oil into a large, thick bottomed sauce pan on a medium to high heat and add the pork when hot.
Roughly chop the onion and add to the pan once the meat is brown. Lower the heat slightly to a medium heat and stir, making sure to scrape off any stuck on flour at the bottom of the pan so it doesn’t burn.
Method: The Rice Put a little veg oil in a deep sided frying pan or sauce pan on a medium heat and throw in the rice and cumin seeds. Stir for 2 minutes.
When the onions are softened add the Chilli powder and garlic and stir in. Then add the peppers, carrot, pineapple, chilli and stir.
Add the washed pinto beans, half the coriander and the hot stock. Season with a little salt and pepper. Let it boil for 5 minutes then turn the heat down a touch so it simmers gently. Once the rice is cooked, serve with the remaining chopped coriander.
Next add the splash of sherry if you choose to, then the beef stock, tinned tomatoes, salt and pepper. Drop the heat to the lowest setting and leave for 1 and a half to 2 hrs stirring occasionally. Put the stew to one side and cover with a lid or tin foil. Move onto the rice preparation.
This recipe is made using Spice Union Smokey Mexican Chilli Powder
