Sticky Pork Rice

This is a very versatile recipe. I usually make it when we have lots of veg to use up. I've set out a basic recipe but you can really use anything you want. My daughter usually has the veggie version of this, sans Pork! 

500 gms Minced Pork
300 gms Rice
1 Red, Yellow and Green Pepper, diced.
1 Large Red Onion, sliced.
3 Cloves Garlic, crushed.
150 gms Chestnut Mushrooms
2 Red Chillies chopped and seeds left in.
2 Leeks, finely sliced
Bunch of Spring Onions, finely chopped
Medium bunch of Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped.
50 gms frozen Petit Pois
Sea Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
Juice and zest of 1 Lime
Heaped tsp dried Coriander
2 good tbsps Tomato Ketchup
2 tbsps Worcestershire Sauce.
Olive Oil
Vegetable Oil

 There are three stages to this recipe.

 1.COOK

Put the rice on and cook until sticky, drain well and put aside. Take the peppers, leeks,  red onions and garlic. Put a little vegetable oil in a pan and cook them gently until they are soft but not browned. Remove and set aside. Turn the heat up and add the mushrooms, browning slightly before putting aside with the vegetables. Let the pan get hot and cook the pork over a high heat, stirring frequently and remember pork loves salt! When browned add sea salt, cracked black pepper, worcs sauce, coriander and ketchup. This should coat the pork and make it sticky.

2. ASSEMBLE

Take the pan of minced pork off the heat. Add the rice and season again to your taste. Add the veg, mushrooms and peas. Ensure everything is mixed together evenly.

3. FINISH

Add the lime juice and zest. Mix in the parsley and the spring onions. Finally add a good glug of olive oil and serve. This can be eaten hot or cold and serves 4 to 6 people. It freezes well. Serve with a tomato salad.
