Mandarin Roast Pork

Ingredients

2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp finely grated mandarin rind
1/4 cup (60mL) mandarin juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbs finely grated ginger
1 Tbs sea salt flakes
4 mandarins, thickly sliced
1.8 kg boneless pork leg roast
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
200 g green beans, trimmed
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Coriander leaves, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 230 C. Combine half the oil, mandarin rind, mandarin juice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a small bowl.

Place the pork in a large roasting pan. Pour over the oil mixture and rub into pork rind to coat. Roast for 30 minutes.

Reduce oven to 180 C. Transfer the pork to a plate. Place the sliced mandarin in the pan. Top with the pork. Roast for 1 1/2 hours or until the pork is cooked through. Set aside, covered, for 10 minutes to rest.

Meanwhile, steam, boil or microwave the cauliflower, broccoli and beans separately until tender. Combine the cooked vegetables in a large bowl with the garlic and remaining oil. Season.

Thickly slice the pork. Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with coriander to serve.
