INGREDIENTS
- 1 Linley Valley Herb and Garlic Pork Loin
- 600 g baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper
Cheesy Pesto Spread
- 3 tbsp basil pesto
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
Kale Salad
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn
- 2 tbsp roasted almonds, sliced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Sea salt and chilli flakes
Nut-free option: replace almonds with a simple dressing of olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, and chilli flakes.
Roasted Tomatoes
- 250 g mixed cherry tomatoes (red and yellow)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, to garnish
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place pork loin in a roasting tray and cook for 35–40 minutes until golden. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a tray for 30–35 minutes until crisp and golden. Spread pesto and parmesan over hot potatoes so it melts into the surface.
- Place kale in a large bowl. Massage with olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and chilli flakes until softened. Toss through roasted almonds, or keep nut-free with the alternative dressing.
- Arrange cherry tomatoes on a tray, drizzle with olive oil, season lightly, and roast for 10–12 minutes until blistered. Garnish with parsley.
- Plate sliced pork with roasted potatoes, kale salad, and tomatoes for a balanced, flavourful spread.
Tip: Pair this dish with a glass of cool-climate shiraz or a sparkling mineral water with lemon.
