Preparation time:

Total time:
25 minutes 25 minutes
Serves:
 2

Ingredients

  • 300g organic baby new potatoes
  • 150g Waitrose Frozen Organic Petit Pois
  • 3 tbsp Sacla Organic Tomato Pesto
  • ½ x 25g pack fresh organic basil, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp Ferrari Organic Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 225g Waitrose Organic Thin-cut Pork Loin Steaks
  • 1 tbsp organic butter

Method

  1. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes in cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Add the peas and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the tomato pesto, basil and Parmigiano Reggiano. Spread half the mixture on one side of each steak.
  3. Line a grill pan with foil and preheat the grill to a moderate heat. Grill the pork for 5 minutes, turn over, spread with the remaining pesto mixture and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  4. Drain the potatoes and peas, add the butter, and season. Lightly crush with a fork or masher. Serve immediately with the pork, pouring over any pan juices.

Cook's tips

You could use the pesto coating on different cuts of meat, such as chicken breasts or organic pork fillet, tenderised using a rolling pin.

Drinks recommendation

Refreshing white wine contrasts well with the tomato pesto in this dish.
