Method
- Mix the jerk seasoning with a little olive oil and rub the paste all over the pork. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl, along with the parsnips and celeriac. Drizzle over a little olive oil.
- Toast the coriander seedsin a dry frying pan until the aroma releases. Remove from the heat, tip the seeds into a pestle and mortar, and gently crush. Add this to the vegetables along with the turmeric. Season and mix well. Lay the vegetables in a single layer on an oven tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
- To cook the marinated pork, heat a large nonstick frying pan on a high heat. Brown each piece of pork on all sides and transfer to a baking tray. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooking and the pork is resting, mix all the ingredients for the pineapple salsa and set aside.
- Arrange the roast vegetables on a large board or platter. Thickly slice the pork and lay it on top. Serve the salsa to the side.
