Pork cutlets with apple chilli and coriander salsa
<p>This seasoning is perfect for pork or beef. Unlike a marinade it doesn’t need long to flavour the meat which can be cooked after about 10 minutes.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>4 pork sirloin steaks or trimmed pork cutlets</li>
</ul>
<p><em>For the seasoning</em></p>
<ul>
<li>2 Tablespoons fish sauce</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons ginger</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons olive oil</li>
<li>2 cloves garlic</li>
</ul>
<p><em>For the salsa</em></p>
<ul>
<li>1 small Lebanese cucumber fine diced (1 cup/ 150 gm)</li>
<li>1 granny smith apple peeled and fine diced (1 cup)</li>
<li>1/2 bunch washed chopped coriander leaves and stems (1 cup)</li>
<li>120 ml or 1/2 cup Thai style sweet chilli sauce</li>
<li>½ cup mint leaves chopped</li>

<ol>
<li>Put the grated ginger and garlic, fish sauce and olive oil into a bowl big enough to hold the meat. Turn over a few times and set aside.</li>
<li>Put the fine diced apple, cucumber and chopped stalks and leaves of the coriander into a bowl along with the mint, lemon juice and sweet chilli sauce. Stir well.</li>
<li>The Pork can be cooked on the BBQ or in a frypan. Put the pan onto high heat till smoking. Shake off any liquid from the meat and put into the frypan and sear. Leave for 3 minutes or till golden before turning over. (Cutlets take a little longer- cover with a lid for 5 -8 minutes after turning). Cook for another 3 minutes then turn off and drizzle with the maple syrup. Turning over a couple of times to glaze. Put onto a plate to rest for 3 minutes.</li>
<li>Serve the Pork Steak / Cutlets with Apple Salsa. This will go well with rice.</li>
