Tomato and Ginger Pork
Total Cook Time
20 mins
Ingredients
- 4 pork steaks, about 180g each
- 1 tbsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp sugar
- 40g ginger peeled
- 250g mixed tomatoes
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 25g basil
Method
- Cook the pork steaks on a medium high heat, 4-5 minutes per side.
- Add 1 tbsp mustard seeds to a pan with a little olive oil. Heat until you hear the seeds pop.
- Peel the ginger and chop roughly.
- Add the ginger, tomatoes, mustard seeds, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sugar and 25g basil to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt & pepper.
- Heat the sauce in a small pan and serve with the pork.
Notes
- chopped ginger can be a bit jarring I find. Next time experiment with blending it a bit more effectively by softening it with a mortar & pestle.
