  1. FLUFFY RICE

    Boil the kettle. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. NO PORKING AROUND

    Place a large nonstick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced pork fat side down and sear for 3-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. In the final minute, baste the slices with ½ of the rub. Remove from the pan and cover with tinfoil to keep warm.

  3. FRAGRANT VEGGIES

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the carrot chunks and ¾ of the diced onions for 5-6 minutes until soft but still crunchy. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the oregano and peas. Add the cooked rice, shredded spinach, some lemon zest (to taste). Season and mix to combine.

  4. SPICY GRAVY

    Combine the cornflour with 1 tsp of water. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Finely dice the remaining onion. Place a small pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the remaining onion and rub, and fry for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the diluted stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes until reduced. Add the cornflour mixture and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and season with a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste) and some seasoning.

  5. YUMMY YUM!

    Plate up the loaded rice and top with the pork belly, and drizzle the gravy over the pork. Sprinkle over the chopped chives, and garnish with a lemon wedge. Well done, Chef!
