Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C convection. Take the roast out of the fridge and season it with salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. Brown the roast

    Heat the sunflower oil in the skillet over high heat. Sear the roast 2 to 3 min per side, until nicely browned, then set it in the baking dish.

  3. Prep the apples

    Wash the apples, cut them into wedges without peeling and remove the cores. Arrange them around the roast, drizzle them with the honey and dot everything with 5 g of butter in small pieces.

  4. Roast the pork

    Put the dish in the oven at 180 °C for 1 hr to 1 hr 10 min. The pork should hit at least 70 °C inside with no pink. Baste with the pan juices halfway through.

    Tip · Poke the tip of a knife into the center of the roast: the juices should run clear, with no pink. If you have a thermometer, aim for at least 70 °C inside.

  5. Cook the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes, cut them into 3 cm chunks and put them in a saucepan of cold salted water. Plan on 20 min at a simmer, until a knife slides in with no resistance.

  6. Mash

    Drain the potatoes, put them back in the saucepan and mash them. Add 15 g of butter, the crème fraîche, salt and pepper, then stir. Cover and keep warm.

  7. Cook the green beans

    Trim the green beans. Drop them into the second saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 to 12 min, then drain.

  8. Butter the beans

    Put the drained beans back in their saucepan with the remaining 5 g of butter, salt and pepper. Toss off the heat.

  9. Let the roast rest

    Take the dish out of the oven, cover the roast with foil and let it rest. Keep the juices and apples in the dish.

  10. Slice and serve

    Cut the roast into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Plate them with the apples, juices, mash and green beans.

    Tip · Slice across the grain with a really sharp knife, so the meat stays tender and doesn't shred.
