Instructions

  1. Put the pork on a plate. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, oregano, black pepper and some salt. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the pork and set aside.
  2. To make the tomato rice salad, cook the rice to pack instructions, then drain and set aside in a serving bowl. Put 75g of the cherry tomatoes in a mini food processor along with the sundried tomatoes and their oil, the vinegar and oregano. Blitz to a smooth dressing then add to the rice along with the remaining cherry tomatoes and the red onion, chickpeas and olives. Stir until well combined.
  3. Heat a nonstick griddle pan to high and mist the pork all over with cooking spray. Griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside to rest for 2 minutes while you make the tzatziki, then cut into thick strips.
  4. For the tzatziki, combine the yogurt, cucumber garlic and half of the dill in a small bowl, then season to taste and scatter over the remaining dill.
  5. Serve the rice salad topped with the pork and tzatziki. Drizzle over any juices from the griddle pan, and serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
