READY THE RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
GOLDEN Pork
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-sized pieces.
ALL TOGETHER
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Fry the onion and the mushrooms until golden, 4-6 minutes. Add the curry paste and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Mix in the tomato passata, Peas, kidney beans, and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until thickened and reduced, 5-7 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the pork, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
DINNER IS READY
Dish up the rice, top with the savoury Pork, a dollop of the sour cream, and garnish with the parsley. Well done, Chef!
