Flattening meat with a rolling pin is a great way to tenderise cheaper cuts such as shoulder. It also makes it go further and speeds up the cooking time

Ingredients
500g Essential Pork Shoulder Steaks
1½ tsp Chinese five spice
2 tsp Vegetable oil
4 Essential Plums, stoned and quartered
200g Essential Long Grain Rice
1 bunch Essential Salad Onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
30g piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
½ x 25g pack coriander, chopped
2 tbsp plum sauce
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC,
gas mark 6. Remove any
excess fat from the pork
and cut the meat into 3-4cm
pieces. Space well apart
between layers of baking
parchment. Beat with a rolling
pin until less than ½ the
original thickness. Sprinkle
with the five spice and rub in.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan
and fry the pork for 2 minutes
on each side. Transfer to a
flameproof roasting tin and
bake for 10 minutes, then
add the plums and bake for
10 minutes, or until the pork
is cooked through and there
is no pink meat. Meanwhile,
cook the rice in boiling, lightly
salted water for 10 minutes.
Heat the remaining 1 tsp
oil in the frying pan. Gently
fry the white parts of the
onions for 3 minutes, until
softened but not coloured.
Add the garlic and ginger and
cook for 2 minutes. Drain
the rice and add to the pan
with the coriander, then mix
well. Transfer to plates and
top with the pork and plums.
Heat the plum sauce in the
roasting tin with 4 tbsp water,
stirring until bubbling. Spoon
over the plums and serve
Cook’s tip
This recipe also works well with Essential British Chicken Breast Fillets or Lamb Steaks. Cut the meat into pieces and flatten in the same way
