Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Slice the sweet potatoes into 1cm thick discs (peel optional). Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Roast for 20 mins.
- Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Season the pork with sea salt and black pepper. Add the pork and cook for 4-5 mins, per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and leave to rest.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms. Finely dice the onion. Reheat the pork pan with 1 tbsp oil to medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden. Meanwhile, pick the tarragon from the stalks and roughly chop.
- Add the garlic paste and paprika to the pan, cook for 2 mins, then add the cream and 150ml hot water. Crumble in the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 mins, until thickened. Return the pork and any resting juices to the pan and stir in half the tarragon. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- After 20 mins of roasting the sweet potatoes, remove the tray from the oven. Add the cavolo nero to the tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Return to the oven and roast for another 4-5 mins, until soft. Then, toss with the remaining tarragon.
- Serve the pork loins on plates and spoon over the mushroom sauce. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes and cavolo nero alongside.
