Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230C / fan 210C / gas mark 8. Boil a kettle. Peel and cut the squash into 2cm-thick wedges, discarding the seeds. Place on a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of sea salt. Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden. Dissolve the stock cube in a jug with 300ml boiling water (150ml for 1 person).
- Heat a frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Season the pork with sea salt and black pepper. Add the pork and cook for 2 mins, per side, until golden. Remove the tray from the oven and add the pork. Bake for 5-6 mins, until the pork is cooked through. Then, remove and leave to rest while the squash continues roasting.
- Make the sauce; finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely dice the shallot. Strip the rosemary from the stalks and finely chop. Reheat the pork pan on medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic and half the rosemary. Cook for 2 mins, then add the stock and spinach. Simmer for 3-5 mins, until thickened slightly. Stir in the yoghurt and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Trim the green beans. Place in a saucepan on high heat and cover with salted boiling water. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked. Drain, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Roughly chop the parsley and hazelnuts. Add to the squash tray along with the cooked green beans and remaining rosemary and mix. Thinly slice the pork against the grain.
- Serve the squash and green beans topped with the pork. Finish with the rosemary sauce.
