Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut pork chops across their width into 1/4" strips. Combine pork and half the jerk sauce in a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Marinate 10-15 minutes while you prepare vegetables. Wash or use a separate cutting board for preparing vegetables.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove leaves from cauliflower head, core, and cut into bite-sized florets. Place cauliflower in provided resealable bag and pound with a small pot or pan until it resembles coarse grains a little larger than rice. Don't worry if some stem pieces remain larger. Stem kale and tear into large pieces. Zest lemon, halve, and juice.

  3. 3

    Make the Coconut Cauliflower

    Place a medium pot over medium heat. Add cauliflower and coconut milk to hot pot and bring to a low simmer. Cook, stirring often, until cauliflower is tender, 10-14 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt. While cauliflower cooks, bake kale.

  4. 4

    Bake the Kale

    Combine kale, 1 tsp. lemon zest, 2 tsp. olive oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a mixing bowl. With your hands, massage kale until it darkens in color and becomes tender, 2 minutes. Spread kale into a single layer on baking sheet and roast until leaves just begin to blacken and crisp, 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tsp. lemon juice and 1/4 tsp. pepper. While kale cooks, grill skewers.

  5. 5

    Skewer and Grill the Pork

    Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Thread pork onto skewers, making sure pork is evenly distributed and spaced on skewers. Grill skewers until charred and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve cauliflower and kale next to skewers. Brush or drizzle skewers with remaining jerk sauce to taste.
