Ingredients

For the pork:

  • 4 pork medallions (about 2 pounds)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin

For the beans:

For the peas:

  • 1 can sweet peas, drained
  • 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream

To serve:

Directions

In large bowl, place the pork, a good pinch of salt and pepper, lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.

In a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion to the pan and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with a little bit of salt. Set aside and keep warm.

To make the beans: In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, green pepper, garlic, cumin, and the remaining half of the cilantro. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in the beans and vinegar. Add the bay leaves. When the mixture comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.

Remove the pork from the marinade, shake off the excess liquid. Grill the pork for 5 minutes on each side. Cover and keep warm.

In a small saucepan or in a microwave, with a little bit of water, heat the peas until warmed through. Drain the water and place the peas in a food processor. Puree the peas until just smooth. Transfer the puree to a bowl and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.

Divide the rice among 4 plates. Place a piece of pork on each plate. Top the pork with a spoonful of pea puree, then the onions, and then the beans.

    Let me start off by saying my wife "HATES PEAS". She was giving me the evil eye the whole time I was preparing this amazing dish. She took one bite, after much banter and debate about the peas, and was hooked. Amazing. The flavors were great and a nice change. This goes into my top recipes.

    Every part of this dish is great. I'll admit that I wasn't sure about the mushy peas (not being a huge fan of peas myself but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked them so much in fact that I was eating them straight out of the bowl, I did find that I had to add a pinch of salt to them. The flavors and textures from each of the parts really work together very well and make a delicious meal.
