Ingredients

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 onions, halved, thinly sliced

2 tablespoon grated ginger

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tablespoon chilli paste

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 500 gram pork fillets

1 400 millilitre can coconut milk

steamed rice, coriander sprigs, to serve

Method

1.In a large, deep frying pan, heat oil on medium. Cook onion 5-7 minutes, until very soft. Add ginger, garlic, chilli paste and ground cumin and stir 2 minutes, until fragrant.

2.Add pork, coconut milk and 1/3 cup water. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Remove lid and simmer another 15 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly. Remove pork from pan and slice. Divide between serving plates and drizzle with coconut sauce. Serve with rice and coriander.

If you can’t find 500 gram fillets, use three smaller pieces and check them halfway through cooking, as they will cook faster.
