Today I went to the gym with Bianca as promised yesterday!

It was not easy but we managed to get all our exercises done. (we do train separately).

I'm happy I have not lost strength so I can pretty much start where I left of but I did gain fat.

This needs to go, but it's not always easy (as my blog doesn't lie).

I love life with friends, good food and a drink....it doesn't mix well with steemfat...especially in the weekend.

They say diet plays a very important role in losing weight.

That's why I'm glad Bianca made a food schedule this week.

A meal for every day of the week. (although I already know I will skip two because of obligations).

I got to choose a meal today and went with the lean pork from the pressure cooker.

We cooked it together.

It was delicious.

Let's cook!

Ingredients: A piece of lean pork from the leg (ham?), tomato paste, crushed tomatoes in sauce, corn, red onion, bay leafs, smoked paprika, pepper flakes, rice, orange juice and garlic.

---

---

Start with cutting the meat in strips with the grain. You can see it's lean.

---

---

Crush garlic and put in the pressure cooker with a little bit of butter and fry for 2 minutes. (don't let it burn!)

---

---

Add the meat and fry for 5 minutes.

---

---

Add the tomato paste and stir it for 1 minutes then add the orange juice.

---

---

Now is time to add the herbs. Add the bay leafs, the pepper flakes and the smoked paprika.

---

---

Add the crushed tomatoes and add water until the meat is just under.

---

---

Close the lit of the pressure cooker and let it cook for around 30 minutes.

---

---

While the meat is cooking you can prepare the rice. I always do it in the Brazilian way Bianca taught me. Add oil and garlic to a pan and add rice. Also add salt. Stir it for 2-3 minutes then add water. Slowly add more water while the rice cooks. It takes about 15-20 minutes.

---

---

After 30 minutes the meat looks like this. Leave the lid off but keep boiling the sauce to reduce it while breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.

---

---

When the meat is looking like this add the corn and the red onion. Time to serve!

---

---

End Result! The meat was beautiful and soft and not fat at all. We served it with rice and a simple salad with olive oil. It was delicious!
