Ingredients
THE RICE
1 ¾ cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 cup basmati rice, well rinsed
½ cup dried apricots, chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios
THE PORK
1 pork tenderloin
1 ¼ teaspoons curry powder
Preparation
- Step 1
Place the water and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, add the rice and let the water return to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in apricots and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
While the rice is standing, slice the tenderloin into 8 equal pieces, using the thin end as 1 whole piece. Flatten each piece to almost ¼ inch. Rub the curry powder into the pork on both sides.
- Step 3
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the pork and cook until the center is only slightly pink, about 1 ½ minutes per side.
- Step 4
Mound the rice in the center of a platter and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Arrange the pork in a circle around the rice. Serve immediately.
