Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. • Finely chop garlic. • Place cherry tomatoes, the balsamic vinegar, the sugar and 1/2 the garlic in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside. • Finely chop walnuts. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and the honey.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Season premium pork fillet all over with salt and pepper. • When oil is hot, cook pork, turning, until browned all over, 4 minutes. • Transfer seared pork to a baking dish.
• Spread honey-mustard mixture over pork. Sprinkle with walnuts and drizzle with olive oil. • Place cherry tomatoes around pork. • Roast for 12-14 minutes for medium, or until the pork is cooked to your liking. Transfer roasted pork to a plate, then cover loosely with foil. Set aside. • Return baking tray with tomatoes to the oven to continue roasting until caramelised, a further 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
• While the pork and tomatoes are roasting, peel potato and parsnip, then cut into large chunks. Zest lemon to get a generous pinch, then slice in half. • Cook potato and parsnip in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 15 minutes. Drain, then return to saucepan. • Add the butter, the milk and the salt. Mash until smooth. Stir through lemon zest. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato and parsnip unpeeled!
• While the potato and parsnip are cooking, trim baby broccoli and sugar snap peas. • When the mash is done, return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli with a dash of water and a good squeeze of lemon juice, tossing, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add snap peas and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: Add more lemon juice and water as you go to help the baby broccoli cook evenly.
• Slice walnut-crusted pork fillet. • Divide pork, caramelised cherry tomatoes, parsnip mash and greens between plates. • Spoon over any juices from baking dish to serve. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The honey-mustard walnut crust was a standout, and the balsamic cherry tomatoes were widely praised for their rich, caramelised flavour. Some found the overall dish mild, and a few felt the flavours did not come together as expected.
- Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward and easy to follow, though several noted it felt more time-consuming than a typical weeknight cook.
- Suggestions: Walnuts frequently fell off during roasting — pressing them firmly into the mustard coating before roasting may help them adhere better. Some felt the pork needed longer than the suggested roasting time, and a few suggested adding a gravy or sauce to finish the dish.
- Portions: Several customers found the quantity of potato and parsnip mash too small, particularly for four servings, and a few noted receiving only one small potato.
- Leftovers: No substantive feedback was provided on this topic.
