PORK FILLET SALAD WITH MISO MAPLE DRESSING

PREP + COOK TIME 30 mins SERVES 4

 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 tablespoon mirin
 800g pork fillets
 200g kale, stems removed, leaves thinly sliced
 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
 500g shredded red cabbage
 1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced (see Cook’s Notes)
 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
 ¼ cup micro herbs (see Cook’s Notes)

MISO MAPLE DRESSING

 1 tablespoon white miso paste
 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
 2 tablespoons olive oil

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine ginger, 1 tablespoon oil and mirin in a medium bowl. Add pork; turn to coat.

2 Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook pork for 3 minutes or until golden brown all over. Transfer to an oven tray, then roast for 15 minutes or until just cooked through. Rest pork, covered loosely, for 5 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, place kale in a large bowl. Add juice and remaining oil. Season well. Massage oil mixture into kale to soften it, then add cabbage, fennel and seeds.

4 Make the Miso Maple Dressing (see below).

5 Place salad on a large plate. Slice pork and add to salad. Drizzle with Miso Maple Dressing, then top with micro herbs.
