Ingredients (serves 2-3):
- Pork roasting loin
- 2 carrots – sliced
- 2 sticks of celery – sliced
- 6-10 new potatoes
- 1 onion – sliced
- 2 eating apples – cored and sliced
- 1 teaspoon of thyme
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Start by pre-heating the oven to 240 degrees C. Boil some water in a kettle and pour it over the skin of the pork loin (this will help give you great crackling). Pat the skin dry with some kitchen paper and leave to dry while you pour a little oil into a roasting pan and place it into the oven. After a few minutes, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork into it. Cook for around 20 minutes like this, but keep an eye on it to check that the skin doesn’t burn.
Reduce the heat to 190 degrees C and take the pan out of the oven and remove the pork from the pan. Place the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and apples into the pan, sprinkle over the thyme and a little more oil if required. Season very well and place the pork on top and place the whole pan back into the oven. Continue to cook for a further 30 minutes per 500g of loin or until cooked to your liking.
Remove the pan from the oven and place the pork to one side to rest and cover both the pork and the vegetables with tin foil to keep them warm. If you want you can remove the vegetables from the pan and use the sauce as a base for some gravy! Slice the pork and and enjoy!
