Ingredients
  

  • 2 pcs Medium Green Pears (150 grams per pear)
  • 30 g Raw Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Fresh Oregano
  • 1/2 Tbsp Mustard Seed Oil
  • 1 tsp Lemon Flavored Cracked Peppercorns
  • 600 g Pork Fillet, Trimmed of Fat and Cut into Medallions 3 to 4 cm Thick
  • 6 g Olive Oil Spray
  • 250 mL Salt-reduced Liquid Stock
  • 200 g Spinach Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 180ºC or 160ºC, for a fan-forced oven.
  • Halve the pears and cut into 16 wedges. Combine the onion, oregano, mustard seed oil and peppercorns. Toss the pear wedges in the onion mixture.
  • Lightly spray the pork with olive oil and seal in a hot non-stick frying pan. Place into a baking tray and cook for 8 to 10 minutes in the oven, or until the pork is firm (cooking time will depend on the thickness of your sliced pork).
  • Re-heat the non-stick pan to medium. Tip the pear wedges into it and cook until lightly browned, turning often.
  • To cook the spinach, heat the stock until boiling and then tip in the spinach leaves. Toss in the wok to cook - be aware that the spinach cooks very quickly.
  • To serve, pile equal amounts of the spinach onto the centre of each plate. Top with equal amounts of pork. Also top with pear wedges or serve them to one side.
