Step 1

Trim any fat from the pork and cut into strips about 5cm long and 0.5cm thick. In a bowl place 150ml of the cooled white wine stock. Add a deseeded and chopped red chilli, a chopped onion 1 Tsp Garlic paste 1 Tsp Ginger paste and 2 Tsp Lemon juice. Add the pork and mix well. Allow to marinate for a minimum of 4 hours then separate out the pork, but keep the marinade.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan and add the pork, once sealed remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Then add the chopped onion and red pepper, cook until soft. Now add the pork back in

Step 3

Add 350ml white wine stock to the pork pepper and onion. Then stir in a mix 150ml single cream, 2 Tbsp from the Parmesan cheese and 1 Tsp garlic paste

Step 4

Wash 300g Long Grain rice then boil until almost cooked, (just soft to the bite)

Step 5

Take a Large oven proof baking dish and grease with butter. Then add a shallow layer of rice to the bottom

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon place the pork, onion, pepper, and chilli on top of the rice. Retain the stock in the pan for later.

Step 7

Then cover the pork and vegetables with the remaining rice. Taste and season the stock then pour over the rice. To top off sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes at gas mark 4, then remove the foil and bake on until the cheese has browned.

Step 9

We had ours with green beans but this would definitely work with salad or as a stand alone dish
