Simple pesto pork with potatoes

Enjoy this simple pork recipe for dinner, made using these 5 ingredients. Pork loin chops, basil pesto, Edam cheese slices, baby white potatoes and a supergreen salad kit. It’s ready to eat in just 25 minutes.

Start by preheating the oven to 200 degree celsius.

Next, cut into the thickest part of the pork chops- make sure you don’t cut all the way through, you just want to make a pocket in each pork chop. Fill the pocket with pesto and cheese. Next, heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat.

Cook the pork for 2 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer the pork to a baking paper lined tray. Pop it in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the pork is just cooked through. While the pork is baking, place the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover.

Bring to the boil and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes or until tender. Refresh under cold water and drain well. Make the salad by placing the salad leaves from the packet in a large bowl. Add the almonds and dressing from the salad kit.

Slice the potatoes and add to the salad, then toss gently to combine.

Divide pork and salad among serving plates and season with salt and pepper. This easy meal is bursting with flavours, and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
