Jamaican Pork with Rice n Beans - Weight Watchers ProPoints Recipe

 Jamaican Pork with Rice n Beans is a 30 minute meal from one of two Weight Watchers books I've kindly been sent.  

The first is called 'Seriously Satisfying'. and uses their ProPoints Plan to help you loose the weight you want to. 

The second book is a brand new ProPoints book called 'Oriental Express' which is available to buy from today!  I'll be making Coconut Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas from it later on this week - how does that sound?!
  I will of course post it here including more about the book.

The pork with the pineapple was really nice and full of flavour.

 The cookbook features over 130 new healthy and filling recipes for every occasion ranging from breakfasts, brunches and lunches to family food and cooking to impress.  You can watch a short video here or pop over to the Weight Watchers site to learn more about new ProPoints Plan.

Print Recipe

To serve 2 (14 ProPoints per serving) you will need:

227g can of pineapple rings in natural juice - drained, reserving 2 tablespoons of juice

2 tablespoons of Jerk seasoning

2 x 150g lean pork loin steaks, visible fat removed 

80g dried long grain rice

400g black beans (I used black eyed peas)

1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander

salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to do it:

Preheat your oven to 190C/375F or Gas 5

Place two pineapple rings in the base of a small oven proof dish.  Mix together the reserved pineapple juice and the jerk seasoning to make a paste.

Smear the paste over both sides of the steaks and sit on top of the pineapple.  Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Bake the pork for 15 to 20 minutes until just cooked through.  Meanwhile, bring a large lidded pan water to the boil, add the rice and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or according to the packet instructions.

Drain, stir in the beans, cover and leave for 5 minutes until the beans have warmed through.  Season and serve the pork steaks with a pineapple ring each and the rice with any juices spooned over.  Scatter over the chopped coriander and serve immediately.

'Seriously Satisfying' can be purchased though Amazon.
