Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1tsp ground cumin

1tsp mild chilli powder

½tsp smoked paprika, plus extra to serve

50ml fresh orange juice

1tsp rapeseed oil

480g pack Butcher's Selection Pork Loin Steaks, cut into 3cm chunks

8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 1 hr

200g long-grain rice

400g can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 iceberg lettuce, shredded

150g fresh pineapple, cut into chunks

3 tomatoes, diced

3tbsp reduced-fat soured cream

2 spring onions, shredded

10g coriander

Method

1
In a bowl or large zip-seal bag, mix together the garlic, cumin, chilli powder, paprika, orange juice and oil. Add the pork and stir or shake well to coat.
2
Put the pork in the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr, preferably overnight.
3
For the salad, cook the rice according to the pack instructions. Drain well, then stir through the beans.
4
Preheat the grill and line the grill pan with foil.
5
Thread the pork onto the skewers, reserving any leftover marinade. Put the skewers on the grill pan and cook on one side for 6-8 mins, until they are beginning to char.
6
Baste with the leftover marinade before turning and cooking for a further 8 mins on the other side.
7
Assemble the salad bowls. Start with a base of the rice and beans, then plenty of shredded lettuce. Top each bowl with 2 pork skewers per person – remove the meat from the skewers first, if you prefer – followed by the pineapple and tomatoes.
8
In a small bowl, stir a pinch of smoked paprika into the soured cream.
9
Finish the bowls with the spring onions and the coriander. Serve with the soured cream on the side.
