Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Marinate butterflied pork fillet in soya sauce, brown sugar, crushed cloves garlic and a glug of olive oil for 20 minutes.

For the tabbouleh: Prepare the bulgur wheat according to package instructions. Toss with chopped parsley, chopped mint, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning, to taste.

In a hot pan, fry the pork fillet for 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the tabbouleh and a parsley, lemon and lime zest gremolata.

For a quick gremolata, combine 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped with the peel from 1 lemon, cut into large pieces , 2 T thyme and 2 T olive oil.

Cook's note: look for your packet of bulgur wheat at selected Woolworths stores or buy it online.

    I needed to get over my “fear” of cooking pork, just needed a recipe to convince me that it was in fact going to be just fine. This recipe did just that – super easy for a mid-week dinner and very tasty! Pork fillet is so tender and delicious. I used what ingredients I had available and substituted couscous for Bulgar wheat – I also used a lot more parsley as was short on mint and added fresh thyme too. Great recipe, TASTE!
