Spicy & Sticky Marmalade Pork

November 26

Marmalade is such a great ingredient: it really boosts this most simple of dishes with its tangy, deep, sweet and citrus flavour.

25mins
Serves 2

Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion, garlic and chilli flakes for 5 minutes until soft.
Move the onion to the side of the pan and increase the heat. Add the pork strips and fry until browned all over – keep stirring the onion to prevent it catching. Add the marmalade and 80–100ml (scant ½ cup) water and stir to create a sauce; bring to a steady simmer.
Add the greens, cover and cook for 2–3 minutes until the greens are wilted and the pork is tender and sticky.

1 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

good pinch of chilli flakes

12oz packet stir-fry pork strips

5 tbsp orange and ginger marmalade

7oz shredded greens, such as spring greens or baby kale

1 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove, crushed

good pinch of chilli flakes

1 x 350g packet stir-fry pork strips

5 tbsp orange and ginger marmalade

200g shredded greens, such as spring greens or baby kale

Bun Cha Pork

November 08

This feast of smoky pork skewers, wrapped in lettuce leaves with fresh herbs and dipped in a salty sweet sauce is inspired by the classic street food dish. Barbecue the pork to get the essential smoky element of South East Asian cooking, but a griddle pan will also work.

Asian Pork Lettuce Cups

May 02

I want to introduce you to what is easily one of my favourite little dinner-party treats. This dish tastes amazing and I hope it will become one of your staple entertaining recipes. The meat mix is full of really light and aromatic flavours and is served in baby gem lettuce leaves, making it perfect finger food. Vegetarian option: use Quorn mince which works quite well here.

Chilli Jam Chicken with Nam Pla Veggie Fried Rice

March 06

A jam jar marinade, tender roast chicken with a sweet and savoury coating- what’s not to love? Similarly this method would work with marmalade, tomato or plum jam. Brushing with additional chilli jam at the end of the cooking time is optional but will give the best sticky results. The fried rice in this recipe is one my mother has been making since her travels in Thailand in the early nineties. It’s simple to make but incredibly fragrant and benefits from using leftover cooked rice.
