Pork Mash Gratin

A very satisfying meal of super moist pork with cheesy mash and smoky overtones of prosciutto and sage.
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time30 minutes mins
Servings: 3
Calories: 446kcal
Carbs: 11g
Net Carbs: 7g

Ingredients

  • 22 oz cauliflower - roughly chopped
  • 14 oz pork fillet
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 sprigs fresh sage - picked off the stem
  • 3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Chop the cauliflower into chunks, then place in a large pan, cover with water, place the lid on the pan and bring to the boil. Once boiling cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until soft. Drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a non-stick pan on a high heat, place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan, add the pork fillet and sear for about 4-6 minutes, turning regularly so it sears and browns evenly on all sides. Set the pork aside on a plate.
  • Toss the sage leaves in the pan fat for 5-10 seconds or so, stirring continuously, then set aside on a plate.
  • Mash the cauliflower by adding it back to the pan, add half the cheese, add 1 tablespoon of butter and mash well until you reach a relatively smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the cauliflower out to the edges of a casserole dish (about 10.5 x 6.5 inch dish/26.5 x 16.5 cm), then sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
  • Sit the pork on top of the cauliflower, pushing it down slightly to embed in the cauliflower.
  • Place under a preheated broiler/grill for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove, then lay out the prosciutto around the pork in waves, sprinkle over the crispy sage crumbling it over the pork and cauliflower, then broil/grill for 2 more minutes, or until the pork is cooked to your liking.
  • Rest for 2 minutes, then slice the pork and dish up - delish!
  • Optional, serve with a side of greens such as lightly sautéed spinach.

Notes

*Can be stored in the fridge and reheated. Reheat in the microwave, or cover the casserole dish with foil and reheat in a preheated 400F/200C oven for about 15 minutes.

To make the meal blood sugar friendly, we’ve slashed the carbs:

Jamie’s version: 34.7 g total carbs, 2.6 g fiber, 32.1 g net carbs

DMPs version: 12 g total carbs, 5 g fiber, 7 g net carbs – that’s a BIG difference! A difference your blood sugar levels will thank you for!

Slashing the carbs does not compromise on the flavor of this dish because it is delicious – so thanks for the inspiration Jamie. ;)

Plus, we’ve even managed to make the portions more generous without adding too many extra calories. 

Jamie’s version: 4 serves at approximately 420 calories per serve.

DMPs version: 3 serves at approximately 455 calories per serve.

    All well and good, but what if you’re vegan or veggie?
