Try this addictive combination of barbecued pork and zesty guacamole for your next dinner.

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 4 pork cutlets, rind trimmed, bones scraped (ask your butcher to do this for you)
  • 1/2 cup peri-peri marinade*
  • 1 baby cos lettuce, leaves separated (torn if large)
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • Lime halves, to serve
  • Quick guacamole

  • Flesh of 1 avocado (preferably Shepard or Fuerte varieties)
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped coriander leaves

Method

  1. Using a meat mallet, beat pork to 2cm thick. Rub with marinade and stand for 5 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Meanwhile, for guacamole, mash avocado with a fork, then stir in juice and coriander and season to taste. Toss cos in a bowl with half the oil and season to taste.

  3. Heat remaining oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Cook pork for 5 minutes, turning once, for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Remove pan from heat, cover and rest pork in the pan for 5 minutes. Serve with cos, guacamole and lime halves.

Notes

* Peri-peri (or piri-piri) is a hot chilli marinade from supermarkets and delis.
