Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

  • No avocado oil? Use olive oil or another neutral cooking oil in the same amount.
  • No mustard seeds? Leave them out or add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of dijon mustard for flavor.
  • No dijon mustard? Substitute an equal amount of whole grain or spicy brown mustard.

Storing it

Store leftover pork in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat gently until steaming hot. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.

Making it ahead

Mix the marinade and coat the pork up to a day ahead, then keep it covered in the fridge until ready to grill.
