Italian Pork Strips & Pepperonata

with Spinach Couscous

Difficulty: 1/3
Italian

If you haven't tried pepperonata before, you're in for a treat! Essentially, it's an Italian dish where capsicum, tomato and onion are cooked down until they become a vibrant sauce with a distinct and subtle sweetness. This version is laced with fresh parsley, and served over fluffy couscous to soak up the deliciousness. Add perfectly seasoned pork strips for your protein, plus some crumbled fetta for a touch of tang and creaminess. *This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.*
