Stay Awake

1 Place pork in a glass dish. Pour over half the vinegar. Add garlic and turn to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes.

2 Preheat a grill pan or frying pan on medium-high. Spray pork with oil and grill for 3 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes.

3 Use a vegetable peeler to shave cheese into thin ribbons. Combine cheese, lettuce, pear, walnuts and remaining vinegar in a bowl. Serve pork with potatoes and salad on the side.

HFG tip

Use a rocket and baby spinach mix instead of lettuce leaves.
