Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel the kumara. Cut the kumara, parsnip and carrot into bite-sized chunks. Place the 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 20-25 minutes. When the veggies have 5 minutes cook time remaining, gently remove the tray and sprinkle with the flaked almonds. Roast until the veggies are tender and the almonds are golden, 3-5 minutes.
While the veggies are roasting, thinly slice the brown onion. In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Reduce the 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 the garlic. Pick and finely chop the thyme leaves. In a small bowl, combine the cherry sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and the water. Set aside. Season both sides of the pork loin steaks. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the garlic and thyme until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the cherry sauce mixture and cook until slightly thickened, 30 seconds.
Add the baby spinach leaves and onion to the tray with the roasted veggies and toss to combine.
Slice the pork. Divide the pork, roast veggie toss and toasted almonds between plates. Spoon the cherry, thyme and balsamic glaze over the pork.
