Preparation

For vinaigrette, in small bowl whisk lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, and honey. Set aside.

Meanwhile, pat pork dry; season with salt and pepper. In large skillet, heat half the olive oil over high heat. Add pork and cook for 2 minutes per side, remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil, curry paste, cumin, and garlic; cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Stir in jam and coconut milk; cook 5 minutes or until sauce slightly thickens. Mix in cranberries and chickpeas; cook 5 minutes longer. Stir in lime juice and green onions. Return pork to skillet and cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Garnish with cilantro leaves. 

You can serve with cooked Jasmine rice. Serves 4.

Make sure to give the coconut milk a good shake before opening the can. The thick coconut cream rises to the top and the milk settles on the bottom during storage.
