Pork Loin With Roast Apple & Potatoes And Onion Gravy

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and before you start cooking, take your steak out of the fridge, open the packet and let it adjust to room temperature

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Peel and chop your apple[s] into wedges, then peel and finely slice half your red onion[s]

Chop the remaining red onion into wedges

Add the chopped potatoes, apple wedges and onion wedges to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!)

Add a drizzle of vegetable oil with a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the potatoes are golden and crisp and the apples are softened – this is your roast apple & potatoes

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a small knob of butter over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and sugar and give everything a good mix up

Reduce the heat to low and cook the onion for 7-8 min or until softened and caramelised

While the onion is cooking, boil half a kettle

Peel and chop (or grate!) your garlic

Wash, then rip the leaves off your spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips

Add the sliced spring greens to a large piece of tin foil with the chopped garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, a knob of butter and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] cold water

Scrunch the edges of the foil to form a sealed parcel[s] and add to a baking tray

Put the tray in the oven for 10-12 min or until the greens are tender

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Make 2 separate parcels!

Pat your pork loin steak[s] dry with kitchen paper, then rub them with a drizzle of vegetable oil and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat and once hot, add the seasoned steak[s] and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until they're browned and cooked through (no pink meat!)

Once done, transfer the cooked steak[s] to a clean chopping board, cover with a tea towel and leave them to rest for 2 min

While the steak[s] are cooking, dissolve your chicken stock mix and marmite in 250ml [325ml] [450ml] boiled water – this is your chicken stock

Once the onion has caramelised, add 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] flour to the pan and cook for 30 secs

Add the chicken stock to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat, then once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 3-4 min or until thickened to a gravy-like consistency – this is your onion gravy
