Method

1. For the pork: preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the onion slowly for about 8 minutes until soft and leave to cool slightly. Add the chopped sage.

3. Unroll the pork loin and cover with the onion and sage mixture. Roll up and tie with string to secure.

4. Place the pork in a roasting tin and roast in the oven for 25 minutes per 450g.

5. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and add to the roasting tin with a few spoonfuls oil if needed.

6. Add the squash and carrots to the roasting tin and continue cooking for about 1 hour until the vegetables are tender and the pork is cooked.

7. Remove the pork and vegetables from the oven and keep warm for 10 minutes.

8. To make the gravy: strain the meat juices from the roasting tin into a pan and stir in the cider, vegetable stock and mustard. Mix the flour to a paste with a little cold water and stir into the gravy. Cook, stirring, until thickened.

9. To serve: carve the meat and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
