Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ 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.
