Ingredients
1 pound pork tenderloin
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 head cauliflower (about a pound)
4 ounces macadamia nuts
1.25 cup heavy cream
2 ounces butter
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 425° F.
Place the cauliflower florets, macadamia nuts, cream and butter into a saucepan over
medium-high heat and bring to the boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
Season your pork loin with salt and pepper and then sear on a hot pan for a few minutes on each side until the entire loin is browned.
Sit pork on a lined oven tray and place in the oven for a further 10 minutes, or until the
internal temperature of the meat reaches 145° F.
Remove from oven and rest for five minutes.
Spoon the cauliflower mixture into a blender, leaving none behind in the pot, and blend
until a smooth puree is formed.
Taste and add seasoning, if required.
Serve the pork sliced on a generous bed of the mash, with some greens on the side if
desired.
This pork can be wrapped in foil or cling wrap and
stored in the fridge for up to four days.
The mash can be stored in the fridge, in a covered
container, for up to five days.
Both can be frozen.
