Pork salad with chilli, sesame and watercress

SERVINGS 4


PREP AND COOK TIME

40 mins


Preheat oven to 200℃.


To a small bowl add the sauce ingredients and mix together well.


Heat a pan over medium heat, add the oil and sear the pork on all sides then transfer to a baking dish. Pour half the sauce evenly over the pork and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through; the internal temperature should be 65℃.

Baste the pork halfway through cooking. When the pork is ready, remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1cm slices.


Meanwhile make the salad by combining all ingredients into a salad bowl and tossing together.


Add the pork slices to the salad and dress with the remaining sauce.
