1½ tbsp Essential Sunflower Oil
2 small cloves garlic, finely sliced
10g ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
½ tsp Essential Clear Honey
1 tsp light soy sauce
30g Essential Roasted & Salted Peanuts, finely chopped
2 Essential British Pork Shoulder Steaks
¼ Chinese leaf, shredded
1 Essential Carrot, peeled and coarsely grated or julienned
¼ x 25g pack chives, finely chopped
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp black sesame seeds

To make the peanut salsa, heat a frying pan until smoking hot, then add 1 tbsp oil. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook until golden and crisp – take care not to burn the garlic. Pour into a small bowl and stir in the honey, soy and peanuts. Set aside.
Wipe out the frying pan, then heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil over a high heat. Season the pork and fry for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden, the juices run clear and no pink meat remains. Transfer to a plate to rest.
While the pork is resting, mix the Chinese leaf, carrot and chives in a bowl with the sesame oil and sesame seeds. Serve alongside the pork with the peanut salsa.

Cook’s tip

Essential chicken or turkey fillets, strips or slices would also work well here, as would our delicious pork chops. Adjust cooking times accordingly, until cooked through, the juices run clear and no pink meat remains.
