• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Peel kumara, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Cut carrot and white turnip into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Add a dash of water to the tray, then roast for 20 minutes. • Remove tray from oven, then sprinkle over flaked almonds. Return to oven, then roast until veggies are tender and almonds are golden, a further 3-5 minutes.
• While the veggies are roasting, thinly slice onion. • In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add onion, season with salt and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add a pinch of sugar and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• While the onion is cooking, finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine barbecue seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork loin steaks and turn to coat. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, cherry sauce, the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and the water. Set aside. • Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook cherry sauce mixture until slightly thickened, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then return pork to the pan and turn to coat in glaze.
• Add baby spinach leaves and onion to the roasted veggies and toss to combine.
• Slice cherry-glazed pork. • Divide pork, roast veggie toss and toasted almonds between plates. • Spoon cherry and balsamic glaze over pork to serve. Enjoy!
