Prep: 15 min

Ingredients

250 g pork loin
400 g potato
1 unit onion
12 ml balsamic vinegar
30 g grated cheese
0.5 unit zucchini
1 g dried thyme
1 tsp sugar
30 ml olive oil
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then into wedges 1-2 cm thick.
Place the potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, add a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well.
Bake the potatoes for 20-25 min or until golden, turning halfway through cooking.
Peel the onion and cut it into thin strips. In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-low heat and add the onion with a pinch of salt.
Cook, stirring regularly, for 8-10 min or until it starts to brown. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar and cook for another 1-2 min until the liquid evaporates. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat another drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and brown it for 1 min on each side.
Place the caramelized onions on each pork fillet and top with half of the grated cheese. Press lightly to adhere the cheese.
Cover the pan and let the cheese melt over low heat for 2-3 min. Remove when ready.
Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons using a peeler. In another pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat, add the zucchini and thyme.
Season to taste and cook over high heat for 2-3 min or until the zucchini ribbons are golden.
Serve the pork with the caramelized onions and melted cheese, accompanied by the oven-roasted potatoes and thyme zucchini ribbons.
