THIS SITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED.

We're really interested in cooking and love being in the kitchen trying out new things.

We thought we'd ask Alison from Slimming World Navan to recommend a dish for us to try. As you'll obviously realise the dishes that she creates are both nutritious and form part of a lifestyle aimed at staying slim.

By Alison Doyle

Lemony Pork is a delicious dish and excellent during late Autumn to Late Winter when Irish grown Butternut Squash is fresh in season and can be bought locally at its lowest price.

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients: Serves 4 Portions

400g new potatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into bite sized pieces
Salt and black pepper
Low calorie cooking spray
1 unwaxed lemon, cut into wedges with a little zest for garnish
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
4 Pork medallions- all visible fat removed
150mls of hot boiling chicken stock

Method

Preheat oven to 220c/200c fan or gas mark 7
Add potatoes and squash into a large, shallow roasting dish, season and spray with the low calorie cooking spray oil.
Add the lemon wedges randomly and cook for 10 minutes.
Add fennel, onion and thyme, season again and pop back into the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add low calorie cooking spray to a pan on medium heat, fry pork medallions for 2-3 minutes on either side.
Remove veg from oven and lay pork on the top, pour over the hot stock and return to the oven for 6-8 minutes or until the pork is cooked through and veg is tender.
Garnish with lemon zest.
