Pan-Seared Pork Dip

This Greek Dip leans on lemon and oregano to do the heavy lifting. We sear the Pork for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemon and oregano elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the pork. Sear in a hot pan without crowding until a deep golden crust forms, then rest briefly.

Stir in the kalamata olives and the rest of the lemon and oregano flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the asparagus along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
