Roast Pork With Potato, Parsnip And Pear
- 3 cloves large garlic
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 2 tbsp rosemary leaves
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 None pork loin roast (abut 4 1/2 lbs), boned, skin scored
- None None Sea salt flakes
- 4 None parsnips, peeled and quartered
- 4 None pears, peeled, quartered and cored
- 4 None Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 None oranges, peel grated and oranges juiced
- Preheat the oven to 450u0b0F. Place a rack in a large roasting pan. Use a mortar and pestle to lightly crush garlic, fennel seeds and half of rosemary. Mix in 1 tsp oil and paprika and season well.
- If loin is rolled and tied, use a small knife to make a slit between fat and flesh at each end of pork. Push paste through to center with a small spatula. If loin is not rolled and tied, remove skin and fat in one piece. Place skin on a board, fat-side up, and spread with paste. Place skin back onto pork and tie at intervals with string to secure. Pat skin dry with paper towels.
- Brush 1 tbsp oil all over skin and rub in a generous amount of sea salt, pushing well into slits. Place pork on rack. Roast for 20 mins, until skin begins to brown.
- Meanwhile, toss parsnip, pear, potato, orange peel and juice with remaining rosemary and oil. Place on a foil-lined baking pan. Reduce oven to 350u0b0F. Bake vegetables and pork for 1 hour 30 mins, until crackling is golden and crisp and vegetables are tender. Toss vegetables occasionally, adding a little water if starting to burn.
- Let pork stand in a warm place for 15 mins. Carve into slices and arrange on a serving platter with vegetables.
