Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the pork in a roasting tin. Mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, shallot, rosemary, thyme and egg. Season, then press the mixture on the top of the pork. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30 mins.
  2. Take the pork out of the oven and cover with foil. Put the oil into 1 a separate roasting tin and add all the vegetables, tossing to coat. Return the pork to the oven and roast the vegetables above it for 40–45 mins, turning them after 25 mins.
