Hot Honey Pork with Greens & Roast Potatoes
Glossy, sticky pork steaks slick with chilli-flecked honey, crisp paprika roasties tumbled alongside, and bright green spring greens glistening with the pan juices — lemon wedges and a heap of mustardy slaw on the side.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 900gbaby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbspolive oil
- 1 tspsmoked paprika
- 2garlic cloves, grated
- 4pork loin steaks (about 600g)
- 2 tbsprunny honey
- 1 tspchilli flakes
- 1 tbspDijon mustard
- 250gspring greens, finely shredded
- 3spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 tbspwater
- 1lemon, cut into 8 wedges
- Fine salt and black pepper, to taste
- 15gflat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C fan for 10 minutes until fully hot. Toss the potatoes with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the smoked paprika, salt and black pepper, then spread them cut-side down on a large roasting tray.
- Roast for 40 minutes until the potato undersides are deeply golden and the exposed edges are crisp. Do not crowd the tray or they will soften rather than catch.
- Mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Turn the potatoes, drizzle over the garlic oil and roast for 5 minutes until fragrant, glossy and crisp at the uneven edges.
- With 10 minutes of the potatoes' roasting time remaining, mix the honey, chilli flakes and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season the pork with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the pork for 6 minutes, turning once, until well browned on both sides.
- Brush the pork with the hot-honey glaze and cook for 2 minutes, turning and brushing again, until the coating is glossy and bubbling in patches without turning dark. Transfer to a board to rest for 3 minutes until the juices settle.
- Add the spring greens, spring onions and water to the frying pan. Toss for 3 minutes until the greens are tender, bright and folded through the sticky pan juices, then squeeze in the juice from 2 lemon wedges.
- Pile the potatoes and greens onto plates, then add the pork and any resting juices. Scatter with the parsley if using, and serve the remaining lemon wedges alongside.
