Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water and the salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

Get prepped
2

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the cucumber. Roughly chop the tomato. Pick the mint leaves and finely chop. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Cut the pork loin steaks into 1cm strips. In a medium bowl, combine the Berbere seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and the remaining garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the pork and toss until well coated.

Toast the almonds
3

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. In a second medium bowl, combine a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the cucumber and tomato. Toss to combine and season to taste. Set aside.

Cook the pork
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork, in batches, tossing, until lightly charred and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the honey.

Bring it all together
5

While the pork is cooking, combine the lemon zest, mint and Greek-style yoghurt in a second small bowl. Season with salt and set aside. Add the baby spinach to the garlic rice, season to taste and stir through until wilted slightly.

Serve up
6

Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the Berbere honey pork, cucumber salsa and mint yoghurt. Garnish with the toasted almonds. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
