Cooking Steps
- Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork. Pan-fry until golden, 2-3 min per side, then remove from heat and transfer pork to an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.**
- Set pork aside to a cutting board to rest, 3-5 min.
- Cut each plum in half and twist to separate the flesh from the pit. Use a spoon to remove the pit, if necessary. Cut each piece into 1-inch pieces.
- Slice cucumber into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then plums and shallots. Cook, stirring, often, until shallots soften and plums begin to breakdown, 3-4 min.
- Add half the mustard, half the garlic salt (use all for 4 ppl), half the vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) fig spread and 1/2 cup (1 cup water). Cook, stirring often, until fig spread melts and sauce thickens, 2-3 min.
