- 300g pork tenderloin fillet
- A thumb of ginger
- 2 tsp coriander seeds
- 75g brown basmati rice
- 1 orange
- 2 sticks of rhubarb
- 40g honey
- 50g watercress
- A handful of coriander
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- ½ tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil
- 150ml boiling water
- 1.
Heat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Put the pork fillet in a roasting tin and season with salt and pepper. Peel and finely grate the ginger. Crush 2 tsp coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, with a spice grinder or use a bowl and the bottom of a jar.

Mix the spices together with ½ tbsp olive oil and rub over the fillet. Roast for 15 mins.

Tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 150ml boiling water. Cover. Bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down. Simmer for 20-25 mins till all the water is absorbed. Take off the heat. Set aside, lid on, for 2-4 mins to finish cooking the rice.

While the pork and rice cook, zest the orange, then chop half of it into wedges. Chop the rhubarb into 3 cm chunks and toss in a bowl with the honey and orange zest. Add the honeyed rhubarb to the pork roasting tin.

Turn the oven down to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Slide the roasting tin back into the oven. Cook for 10-15 mins more till the rhubarb is tender and the pork is just cooked – you want it a little pink and juicy in the middle.

Tip the watercress into a bowl and dress with a pinch of salt and pepper, a squeeze of juice from the remaining orange half and 1 tsp olive oil.
- 7.
Roughly chop the coriander. Slice the pork and serve it with the rhubarb, rice and watercress. Scatter over the chopped coriander and serve with the orange wedges for squeezing.
