Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ½-inch pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Zest and quarter lemon.

  2. 2

    In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet (spread out across entire sheet for 4 servings) with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes.

    Remove sheet from oven. Toss zucchini on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4, leave carrots roasting; toss zucchini on a second sheet and roast on middle rack.) Return to oven until veggies are tender and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes more.

    Let cool 2 minutes; transfer veggies to a medium bowl. Toss with lemon zest and chili flakes to taste.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.

    Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate to rest.

  5. 5

    In pan used for pork, stir in Mike’s Hot Honey®, jam, stock concentrates, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), and juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4). Increase heat to medium high and bring sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); season with salt and pepper.

    Transfer pork to pan with sauce; turn to coat.

  6. 6

    Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Divide rice, veggies, and pork between plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over pork. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

    Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
