Ingredients

Pork

  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 pack smoky fennel spices
  • 275g free farmed pork sirloin steaks

To Serve

  • 2 Tbsp smoked jalapeño crème
  • 30g feta cheese, crumbled

Quinoa

  • 1/2 pack quinoa
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced 2cm
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn

Steps

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Preheat BBQ grill to medium-high (if using).
  2. Add quinoa to pot of boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, add corn and cook for 2 more minutes, until quinoa and corn are tender. Drain well.
