Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1 large saucepan
- 1 large non stick frying pan
Set the rice simmering
- Cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain.
Add some oomph!
- At the same time, peel and thinly slice the onions. Finely chop the parsley.
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions for 6-8 mins, adding a splash of water if they start to stick and stirring in the garlic & herb paste for the final min.
- Add the onions and half the parsley to the rice.
Prep the veg
- Thinly slice the mushrooms, then peel and crush the garlic.
- Dissolve half the stock cube in 150ml boiled water (dissolve all of it in 250ml for 4 portions).
Sauce & stir
- Return the frying pan to the heat, spritz with cooking spray and tip in the mushrooms, garlic and pork strips. Cook for 4-5 mins.
- Pour in the stock, stir in the Marmite and spinach and cook for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has slightly reduced.
Dish up
- Serve the pork with the rice and sprinkle the remaining parsley on top.
