Stay Awake

1 Prepare rice following packet instructions. Add corn and coriander to cooked rice and stir through.

2 In a bowl, combine pineapple, capsicum, vinegar and chilli. Set aside. In another bowl, combine rocket and tomatoes. Set aside.

3 Thread pork pieces on to skewers and spray with oil. Heat a frying pan or barbecue grill to medium-high. Cook pork, turning, for 4-5 minutes, until just cooked through. Be careful not to over-cook, as pork is better when still pink inside (see tips).

4 Serve pork on rice, with salad and salsa on the side.

Variations

Make it vegan: Replace pork with cubes of Fry’s Golden Crumbed Schnitzels. If necessary, thaw very slightly to cut.

HFG tip

If you are using wild pork, there is a risk of trichinosis, so pork should be thoroughly cooked.

This salsa is great with cold meats such as ham, chicken and steak.

NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
