Roast pork is my family's favourite Sunday lunch. As a change to traditional apple sauce, I recently tried this spicy apple relish, which worked well with crisp potatoes and a few green leaves.

2kg pork loin (with skin on), skin scored in a crisscross pattern
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 Granny Smith apples (skin on), cut into 1cm cubes
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Roast potatoes, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Rub pork rind with a little oil, then rub with 1 heaped tablespoon salt. Place pork on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes or until skin is crisp and the juices run clear. Rest the pork, loosely covered, for 15 minutes.
2.

Meanwhile, combine all the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Set the relish aside.
3.

Serve the pork with the apple relish, roast potatoes and a green salad.
