Lucky for us, I'd planned a scrummy dinner that was both healthy and filling. I'm just sorry my photo doesn't do it justice!
Hoisin pork with watercress salad
250g pork fillet
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
cooking-oil spray
350g watercress, trimmed
1/2 cup coarsely topped fresh mint
1 small green apple, sliced thinly
1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2cm piece fresh ginger, grated (I use jar stuff - about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 fresh small red thai chilli, chopped finely (if you don't have any available, sweet chilli sauce works nearly as well)
**NB. I also added radishes because when I rang Mum from the supermarket in my lunch break to find out the ingredients, she swore black and blue radishes were in the salad. I didn't agree, but Mums are always right so obliged and got home to confirm I was right, but liked the colour combo so added them anyway. They're not offensive, don't add much, but good for colour and texture.
- Spread pork with hoisin sauce. Spray medium frying pan with cooking oil; heat pan, cook pork (takes a lot longer than you think!). Cover pork; stand five minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine watercress, mint, apple and onion in medium bowl.
- Combine juice, soy sauce, ginger and chilli n small jug. Add to salad; toss to combine.
- Serve salad topped with sliced pork.
