Drizzle the onions and lettuce with the flavoured oil and add to the grill. Cook until the rolls are charred and just softened.
In a small bowl mix together ¼ cup flavoured oil, 2tbs whole grain mustard, 1tbs lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Combine the lettuce, onion and plum in a mixing bowl. Dress with the dressing and toss together. Lay the salad onto a platter, slice the pork and place on top of the salad. Garnish with coriander and pickled chillies.
