Tamarillo Stir-Fry with Beef & Bacon

Kiwifruit Salsa: 2 large green kiwifruit, peeled and diced
1/2 avocado, diced
grated rind 1 small orange
1 tablespoon each: orange juice, chopped parsley
Tabasco, salt and pepper to taste

Stir-fry: 250g beef schnitzel
1 tablespoon each: hoisin sauce, rice bran oil
1 rasher middle bacon, chopped
rice bran oil for stir-frying
2 shallots, diced
125g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
3 tamarillos, peeled and thickly sliced

To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and chill while preparing the stir-fry.

Thinly slice the beef schnitzel. Combine the hoisin sauce and oil in a bowl. Add the beef and mix well to coat.

Place the bacon and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick wok or frying pan. Stir-fry until crisp. Add the shallots and mushrooms and stir-fry until soft adding a little oil, if required. Remove and keep warm.

Heat a tablespoon of the oil in the pan and stir-fry the beef in batches for 1 minute. Do not overcook as the beef will toughen.

Return the bacon mixture to the pan. Add the tamarillos and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve topped with the salsa. Excellent served with brown rice. Serves 2.
