• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat.

• While rice is cooking, drain pineapple slices. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. • Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. • Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber and baby spinach leaves. Remove pineapple from pan and roughly chop. • In a bowl, combine charred pineapple, cucumber, baby spinach, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• When rice has 10 mins remaining, crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) in a pestle and mortar, or in their sachet using a rolling pin. • In a bowl, combine pork strips, crushed peppercorns, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook pork strips in batches, until golden, 2-3 minutes. • Cook ginger paste until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat, add onion chutney and toss to coat. Transfer to a bowl.
• Divide garlic rice and ginger pepper pork between bowls. • Serve with charred pineapple salsa. • Sprinkle over a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Enjoy!
