Ingredients
Main Components:
-
600 g Pork Fillet or Leftover Roast Pork, diced or shredded
-
300 g Basmati Rice
-
350 g Broccoli Florets (about 1 head)
For the Stroganoff Sauce:
-
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
-
500 g Leeks, washed & thinly sliced
-
250 g Mushrooms (Closed Cup or Chestnut)
-
2 teaspoons Sweet Smoked Paprika
-
300 ml Low Fat Creme Fraiche
-
4 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
-
A dash Salt & Black Pepper
Instructions
-
Start the Rice and Broccoli: Cook the basmati rice according to the packet instructions (usually boiling for about 10-12 minutes). Place a steamer basket or colander over the rice pot for the last 5 minutes to steam the broccoli until tender-crisp.
-
Sauté the Pork and Spices: While the rice finishes, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork and sprinkle the sweet smoked paprika over it. Fry for 1 minute (if using leftovers) or 3-5 minutes (if using raw pork).
-
Add Veggies: Add the sliced leeks and mushrooms to the pan with the pork. Fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until leeks soften.
-
Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the creme fraiche. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Do not boil vigorously.
-
Serve: Serve the creamy pork stroganoff over a bed of fluffy rice with the steamed broccoli on the side. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- Pork Tip: If using leftover cooked pork, fry for just 1 minute to warm it through and bloom the spices. If using uncooked pork fillet, fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Sauce Consistency: Do not let the sauce boil vigorously once the creme fraiche is added, as it may split. A gentle simmer is all you need.
- One-Pot Hack: Steaming the broccoli over the boiling rice saves energy and cleanup time!
