Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and cook the mojo onions

Peel and thinly slice the onion.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the mojo marinade and cook until reduced to a syrupy consistency, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, and up to 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] sugar (from your pantry) if using. Meanwhile, prepare the pork.

Crisp your protein

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring once or twice, until the meat begins to crisp around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Prep the remaining ingredients; make the mustard relish

Trim the root end from the romaine heart; remove as many of the largest outer leaves as you like for the lettuce cups and save any remaining lettuce for another use.
Finely chop the cornichons.

In a small bowl, stir together the cornichons, whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the romaine leaves to individual plates and divide your protein among the leaves. Top with the mojo onions and as much mustard relish as you like. Serve any remaining relish on the side.
