By Suzanne Gibbs and Adelaide Lucas

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pears, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons whole blanched almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 small radicchio, halved lengthways
Cooking oil spray
4 lean pork cutlets

Preparation method

1. Heat oil in a frying pan on high. Cook pears and almonds for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until starting to colour. Add honey and vinegar. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until starting to caramelise. Reduce heat to low. Add radicchio and cook for 1 minute each side, until beginning to wilt. Season to taste.

2. Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with oil and heat on high. Cook pork for 3-5 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Arrange on plates and serve with pear, radicchio and almonds.

Tip: If radicchio is unavailable, silverbeet or spinach would also work well.
