How To Make Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meal Crispy Parma Pork

  1. Prep the pork: Cut pork into 8 medallions, make a slit in each, and stuff with feta. Season with pepper and wrap each with ½ slice Parma ham. Flatten slightly and cook ham-side down in a hot pan with olive oil, turning until golden and cooked through.
  2. Cook the courgettes: Finely slice courgettes in a processor and add to a hot pan with olive oil. Crush in garlic cloves, then add chopped red chilli and most of the mint. Season and stir often until soft.
  3. Crisp the sage: Add sage to the pork pan for 30 seconds until crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. Warm the rice: In the pork pan, add a splash of water, sun-dried tomato paste, lemon juice, and the rice. Stir and heat through.
  5. Assemble and serve: Arrange courgettes on a platter, top with pork and sage, drizzle with balsamic. Serve rice with yoghurt and scatter over the remaining mint.

Recipe Tips

  • How to keep pork tender?
    Don’t overcook—flip frequently and cook until just golden and firm.
  • Can I use different cheese?
    Goat cheese or soft blue cheese works well in place of feta.
  • How do I slice courgettes quickly?
    Use a food processor with a fine slicer attachment for speed.
  • Can I use raw rice instead of pre-cooked?
    For a quick meal, pre-cooked rice is best. Otherwise, cook rice ahead of time.
