Spice-Rubbed Pork Fillet with Tzatziki and Romesco

Step 01

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Mix all the rub ingredients in a bowl, add the pork and turn to coat. Leave to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

Step 02

Drain off the excess marinade and fry the pork in a little hot olive oil for 1-2 minutes on each side then roast for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Rest in a warm place for 5 minutes.

Step 03

For the tzatziki, toss the cucumber with the salt and leave in a colander for an hour then rinse and pat dry. Mix with the yoghurt, garlic and mint and season.

Step 04

For the romesco, roast the peppers, onions and chillies with the oil for 10-12 minutes until soft and browned and blacken the tomatoes cut-side down in a hot pan.

Step 05

Blend the roasted vegetables with the almonds, vinegar, anchovies and bread until smooth then stream in the olive oil with the motor running. Season well.

Step 06

Slice the pork and serve with the romesco on one side and the tzatziki on the other.
