How To Make Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meal Jerk Pork

1. Grill corn and prep tortillas: Grill corn on a hot griddle until charred, turning occasionally. Arrange tortillas around an oven-safe bowl and bake at 180°C for 6 minutes to crisp into a shell.
2. Cook the pork: Slice pork into 8 medallions, flatten slightly, season with salt, pepper, and coriander. Fry in a hot pan with olive oil until golden and cooked through.
3. Make the jerk sauce: Blend spring onions, most of the coriander, garlic, ginger, honey, chilli, bay leaves, allspice, soy sauce, vinegar, and tomatoes with a splash of water until smooth.
4. Simmer pork in sauce: Remove pork, pour sauce into the same pan and bring to a boil. Return pork and simmer to coat.
5. Assemble salad: Separate lettuce leaves and add to tortilla bowl. Slice corn off cobs and add to the bowl. Add snipped cress, chopped tomatoes, and avocado. Dress with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
6. Serve: Top pork with remaining coriander and yoghurt. Serve with tortilla salad on the side.
