Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Slice the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1 cm thick wedges. Pick the thyme leaves. Dice the pork loin into 1 cm cubes. Cut the broccoli into 2 cm florets. Peel and finely slice the carrot (unpeeled) into 1 cm rounds.

Place the sweet potato wedges on the oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over the thyme, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, arrange in a single layer and place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.

While the sweet potato is cooking, combine the sweet mustard spice blend, plain flour and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a second medium bowl, whisk the egg with a fork. In a third medium bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs. Dip handfuls the pork cubes into the mustard-flour mix, followed by the whisked egg and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate, ready to fry! TIP: Coating the pork in handfuls save time!

Heat a good drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat. Add 1/2 the crumbed pork cubes and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat with the remaining pork cubes.

While the pork is frying, add the broccoli and carrot to the medium saucepan of boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain, return to the saucepan and cover to keep warm.
