RECIPE MEXICAN-STYLE PORK WITH SWEET POTATOES AND LIME YOGURT

Dificulty: Easy
Portion: Serves 4
Time: Takes 10 minutes to make and about 50 minutes to cook

Ingredients

4 medium (about 180-200g each) sweet potatoes
150g natural yogurt
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Small bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lime, plus extra lime halves, to serve
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp mild chilli powder
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp mild olive oil
4 boneless pork loin steaks

Step by step preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray and cook for 45 minutes, until soft. Cover with foil and keep warm. While they’re cooking, mix the yogurt with the chilli, coriander and lime zest.
Preheat the grill to medium. Mix the cumin, paprika, chilli powder, garlic, sugar and oil together in a large bowl. Add the pork and turn to coat. Place the pork steaks, spaced apart, on a foil-lined baking tray and grill for about 6 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked but still juicy.
Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges and serve with the grilled pork steaks, a lime half and the yogurt on the side. Add a mixed salad, if you like.
