Ingredients

  • 1 1/2tsp ground coriander
  • 1 1/2tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4tsp salt
  • 3/4tsp ground black pepper
  • 450g pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1tbsp lemon juice, plus lemon wedges to serve
  • 1tbsp hot honey
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely grated
  • 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1tbsp fresh oregano, chopped

Instructions

Method:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the coriander, cumin, paprika, and 3/4 tsp of both salt and pepper. Add the pork and toss to coat, massaging the spices into the meat until no dry rub remains. Let the pork sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, up to an hour.
  2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the lemon juice, honey and garlic, then set aside.
  3. In a large pan heat 1tbsp of olive oil over a medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the pork chunks and cook for approximately 3 minutes without moving until deeply browned on one side.
  4. Using tongs, flip the pork and cook, turning until cooked through and browned all over, then take off heat.
  5. Pour the lemon-garlic mixture over the meat and toss to coat then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the oregano over the pork and drizzle with the remaining 1tbsp of oil. Serve with lemon wedges.

Chef’s Tip 

Don’t cut the meat too small. If smaller than one inch, they will cook through before getting a flavourful crust.
