Allergens

Gluten-free, Nut-free, Dairy (due to heavy cream in garlic mash)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb pork loin roast
• 3 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp caraway seeds
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, tomato, eggplant)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix paprika, caraway seeds, black pepper, and salt. Rub the spice mixture onto the pork loin roast, ensuring even coverage.
2. Heat a large oven safe skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil, and sear the pork loin for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 45 60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C). Remove from oven and let rest.
3. While the roast is cooking, prepare the garlic mash: In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes until tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add in minced garlic, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
4. For the ratatouille, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mixed vegetables, cover, and cook for another 10 12 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Slice the pork loin and serve alongside garlic mash and ratatouille. Garnish with fresh parsley.
