Ingredients:

200g x 2 pork loin steaks;

75g x 2 Portobello mushrooms, sliced;

100g (3.5 oz.) fresh watercress;

1 tbsp. olive oil;

2 garlic cloves, chopped;

5 spring onions, chopped;

1 tsp. dried thyme;

1 tsp. English mustard;

1 tsp. crushed chillies (optional);

1 cup of vegetable stock made of hot water and bouillon powder;

1 tbsp. fresh coriander, chopped;

Salt and pepper to taste.

How to Make Pork and Mushroom Salad:

Preheat the grill to a medium heat, sprinkle the pork loin steaks with salt, pepper and crushed chillies if you like it spicy. Place the pork steaks under the hot grill and cook them for 10 min on each side. (20 min in total)
Wash the watercress, drain, divide between 2 plates and leave them to one side.
In a cup make the vegetable stock by mixing 1 tsp. of bouillon powder with hot water, then add 1 tsp of English mustard to it and set to one side.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan, add the spring onions, thyme, salt and fry for a few min, until the spring onions are softened.

Raw Ingredients for the Pork and Mushroom Salad

Add the mushrooms to the frying pan. The mushrooms will release a lot of juice, let the juices boil off. Eventually the mushrooms will go light brown in color, that is when they are cooked. Allow 10-15 min for the mushrooms.
Add chopped garlic, vegetable stock and the mustard sauce we made earlier. Stir it for 1 or 2 min until the liquid goes brown, turn off the heat and dish up the mushrooms onto 2 plates on top of the watercress salad.
Place the grilled loin steaks on a chopping board, cut of the fat and then slice the steaks diagonally.
Add the meat to the salad and then spoon the sauce we cooked the mushrooms in all over the salad.
