Ingredients
- 1.5kg pork loin with skin, boned & rolled
- Olive oil
- Flaky salt
- Ground black pepper
- 3-4 leeks, washed & hard green ends trimmed off
- 3-4 large carrots, washed
- 3-4 stalks fresh sage
- Small bunch fresh thyme
- 500ml apple cider
- 500ml Carol’s turkey broth
- 25g butter
- 25g flour
Method
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 220°C / 200°C fan assisted.
- 2. Pat dry the loin of pork with paper towel then drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Rub the olive oil over the skin to coat it then sprinkle generously with flaky salt.
- 3. Cut leeks into 4-5 pieces, each piece about 8cm long. Cut carrots in half lengthways then cut into 3-4 pieces, about the same length as the leek.
- 4. Add the leeks and carrots to a large roasting tray along with the herbs. Sprinkle lightly with a bit of salt and some black pepper.
- 5. Sit the pork on top of the veggies and herbs then pour the apple cider and turkey broth into the roasting dish.
- 6. Roast in the pre-heated oven for about 1 hour 45 minutes, or if using a meat thermometer, when the internal temperature of the roast reaches 75°C.
- 7. Transfer pork to a large plate and cover with foil, leave to rest. Set aside veggies and keep warm for serving.
- 8. To make the gravy, skim any fat from the roasting liquid and pass liquid through a sieve into a jug to remove herbs or other small pieces.
- 9. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat then add the flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in the roasting liquids then cook, while stirring, until gravy thickens. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
- 10. Remove strings from roast pork and serve with reserved leeks and carrots, the cider gravy, and any other sides you enjoy like roast potatoes, steamed veggies or red cabbage.
