Instructions
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Pick the rosemary leaves and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then into 1cm chips (unpeeled).
- Pop onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil then season with salt, pepper and half the rosemary.
- Toss to coat and spread out. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Peel the garlic cloves. Pop half into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose.
- Add the garlic parcel to the tray with the chips to cook, 10-12 mins.
- Meanwhile, grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Season the pork with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
3
- Trim the bottom of the asparagus and discard.
- Place a medium pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the asparagus and grated garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry for 1 min, then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil.
- Cook until tender, 4-6 mins, then remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
4
- Once the garlic has roasted, carefully remove it from the foil.
- Pop into a bowl and mash with 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p) and the remaining rosemary.
- Season with salt and pepper then mix to combine and set aside.
5
- Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, sear the pork loin, fat-side down, until crispy, 2-3 mins.
- Reduce the heat to medium and once seared, fry until cooked, 4-5 mins on each side.
- When 1 min of cooking time remains, add the garlic butter, allow to melt and use a spoon to baste the pork in it.
- Once cooked, transfer from the pan, cover and allow to rest, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
6
- When everything is ready, thinly slice the pork.
- Plate up the butter-basted pork with the rosemary chips and asparagus alongside.
- Drizzle any remaining buttery juices from the pan over the top.
