Pan Roasted Pork Loin with Quinoa, Zucchini and Green Olives.

A simple bistro style meal at home which was a great winter warmer while keeping the flavours quite clean and simple.

A pork loin pan seared and roasted. Seared with fennel seeds, salt and pepper - on both sides, then added a glass of wine, sliced dried figs and sour cherries and a clove of garlic in chunks to bake for another 15 mins.

Whipped a simple mix of vegies to serve with it. Fried off onion, carrot and celery - then added black quinoa (cooked already) and zucchini, keeping everything small, added a small amount of chicken stock and white wine to create a little amount of soupiness. Just before serving - added sliced green olives and fresh parsley.

While I rested the pork, added a little more wine to reduce the gravy and the figs and cherries made it all sticky and sweet. So it was a great addition on top of the pork. This WAS delicious!! Warming but light and full of flavour.
