Fri, 9 May 2025

Ingredients

For the pork

1 pork tenderloin

6 tbsp nduja sausage

4 sprigs of rosemary

4 cloves of garlic

Wooden or metal skewers – about 6

Some extra virgin olive oil

For the potato salad

4 handfuls of baby potatoes

1 vegetable stock cube

4 large gherkins or mini gherkins (aka cornichons – the best!)

1 handful of mint

1 handful of flat-leaf parsley

Lemon zest & juice

A good glug of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper

 

Method

Let’s start by prepping the pork. Butterfly it out with a sharp knife and lay some cling film over it. Now give it a good bash with a mallet or rolling pin.

On a board, chop all the garlic and rosemary together, then mix with the nduja. Spread this lovely mix across the pork like you're spreading cream across a Swiss roll. Now, just

like a Swiss roll or roulade, roll up the pork and hold it in place by sticking through the skewers. Season with salt & pepper and drizzle with olive oil while you prepare your BBQ or oven.

Place the baby potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with water, pop in the stock cube, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, until the potatoes are al dente. Strain and allow to cool in the pot.

When the BBQ is hot, grab the pork and let any excess oil drip off. Place it directly over the heat, turning every minute or so. This is important – don’t play with your meat too much; allow it to do its thing and get a lovely char. Once browned all over, set it aside on the BBQ where there’s no direct heat. Cover with the lid and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it’s cooked through. If you don’t have a lid, don’t worry – it’ll just take a little longer. Or better yet, keep the pork over the heat but lift the grill further away.

Once cooked all the way through, remove to a clean board and allow to rest.

Let’s finish the potato salad. Roughly chop the herbs and add them to the pot along with some lemon juice & zest, chopped gherkins, salt & pepper, and a good glug of olive oil. Shake this all together and place in a serving bowl.

Now carve the pork, removing the skewers as you go. Place it in the centre of the table and let everyone help themselves.
