INGREDIENTS

60g (1/4 cup) SunRice Low GI Brown Rice

2 tsp Cajun seasoning

1/4 tsp orange zest

1 Tbsp fresh orange juice

2 tsp white wine vinegar

2 tsp fresh lime juice

2 tsp honey

3 tsp olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chopped fresh pineapple

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 small red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped

250g lean pork fillet, trimmed of fat, cut into 2.5cm pieces

1 Tbsp water

400g can black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 avocado, sliced

Coriander leaves, to serve

METHOD

1 Cook the rice with half the Cajun mix in a small saucepan, following packet directions.

2 Meanwhile, whisk the orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, lime juice, honey and 1 tsp oil in a

small bowl. Season with pepper.

3 Combine the pineapple, onion and chilli in a small bowl.

4 Put the pork, the remaining Cajun mix and the rest of the oil in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Toss to combine. Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, tossing often, for 3-4 minutes or until the pork is just cooked through. Add the water and cook for 1 minute or until the liquid is evaporated, stirring to scrape up the browned bits and coat the meat.

5 Toss the beans into the cooked rice. Divide the rice mixture, meat and pineapple mixture among serving bowls. Drizzle with the dressing and then top with the avocado slices and coriander.
