Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.
  2. Prep & cook mash. Add pumpkin and carrot to pot of boiling water. Cook for 18-20 minutes, until tender. Drain well, then return to pot with 1 tsp olive oil and mash until smooth. Season.
  3. Prep & cook greens. Toss broccoli with 1 tsp oil on a lined oven tray and season. When mash has 10 minutes cook time remaining, roast broccoli for 6 minutes to begin with. After 6 minutes, toss asparagus and almonds through broccoli. Roast for a further 8 minutes, until tender.
  4. Prep & cook pork. Pat pork dry and season. Heat 1 tsp oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook pork for 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until just cooked. Rest, covered.
  5. Cook gravy. Wipe same pan clean and return to medium-high heat with 1 tsp oil. Cook onion with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes, until softening. Add pork gravy mix and stock. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until gravy has thickened slightly.
  6. Finish pork. Thinly slice pork, reserving resting juices.
  7. Serve mash and greens topped with pork, gravy, resting juices and feta cheese.
