Ingredients

Corn Salad

  • 1 pack baby potatoes, sliced into 2cm thick rounds
  • 1 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 pack corn salad spices
  • 1 courgette, sliced into 1cm thick rounds
  • 1 pack frozen corn
  • 1/2 pack baby spinach
  • 1/3 bunch mint, leaves picked

Pork

  • 1 pack pork fillet, sliced 2cm
  • 1 tsp braai salt

To Serve

  • 2 Tbsp smoked aioli
  • Remaining braai salt

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ grill to medium-high (if using). Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Prep & cook potatoes. Cook potatoes in pot of boiling water, with the lid on, for about 10 minutes, until just tender. Drain well.
  2. Prep remaining salad ingredients. In a large bowl, combine butter and corn salad spices.
  3. Prep & cook pork. Pat pork dry, slice into 2cm thick pieces and toss in a bowl with braai salt and a drizzle of oil. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook pork for 3-4 minutes each side, until just cooked through. Rest, covered. Reserve pan.
  4. Cook salad vegetables. Return reserved pan to medium-high heat. Cook corn, for 2-3 minutes, until charred. Transfer to bowl with butter. Add potatoes and courgette to same pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until golden. Transfer to bowl with corn.
  5. Finish salad. Add spinach, mint and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar to bowl with vegetables and toss to combine. Season to taste.
  6. Serve salad topped with pork, smoked aioli and braai salt.
