Good with rice, baked potatoes or in taco shells, this spicy pork and peanut mixture may be heated up by adding extra chili, or cooled by cutting it down to a mere pinch.

Serves 4

1 pound lean boneless pork, cut into thin strips
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup roasted peanuts
1/2 pound French beans, lightly cooked
1 (15 ounce) can peach slices, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream to serve

Place the pork in a dish, then mix in the chili, allspice, garlic and sesame oil. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Heat the oil and stir fry the onion for 5 minutes before adding the pork. Stir fry the meat until lightly browned all over. Add the peanuts and cook for a further 2 minutes before mixing in the beans and peaches.

Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, so that the beans and peaches are piping hot and the pork cooked through. Add seasoning to taste, then serve at once, offering sour cream with the spicy pork.
