01
Prepare the salad

Divide the cooked bulgar wheat and barley evenly between 4 large bowls. This will form the base of your salad.

Chop the veggies and divide them evenly between the 4 bowls. Arrange each ingredient in its own segment around the outside of the bowl, leaving space for the pork in the centre.

02
Pork – cook with the ‘6+2+2 method’

Season the pork and add a dash of oil to a frypan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for 6 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook on the other side for 2 minutes. Remove the steaks from the pan and rest on a plate for at least 2 minutes while you make the dressing.

03
Make the dressing

Place the dressing ingredients into a large jar and shake well to combine.

04
Slice the pork

Thinly slice the pork steaks against the grain, and place a portion in the middle of each bowl.

Just prior to serving, pour over the dressing and garnish with pomegranate seeds and microgreens.
