Ingredients
For grilled pork with apple & sage
- 1 lemon
- 4x120g pieces pork loin
- 2 Tbsp sage leaves, roughly chopped
- 3 eating apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 rounded tsp light muscovado sugar
For potato wedges
- 2 large potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- pinch of chili
- pinch of paprika
- ground coriander
Instructions
Grilled pork with apple & sage
1. Heat grill to high. Grate the zest from half the lemon and squeeze the juice from both halves. Split the pork fillet down the centre, cutting almost all the way through, and open out like a book. Lift onto a baking tray and season with salt, pepper and lemon zest. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of the sage. Grill for 8-10 mins, turning once, until cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, pour the lemon juice into a small pan. Add the apple to the pan with the
remaining sage, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer until
soft (about 6 mins).
Potato wedges
For simple, spicy wedges, cut 2 large potatoes into wedges and toss in 1 Tbsp olive oil in a roasting tin. Season with salt and pepper, add pinch of chili and paprika, and ground coriander. Cook at 200C for 35-40 mins, shaking the pan halfway through the cooking time.
