About this recipe
Roast pork with chutney, vegetables, mashed sweet potatoes and sweet wine sauce Thermomix TM7 is the kind of all-in-one kitchen machine recipe that turns a Sunday roast into a relaxed cooking session. Boneless pork shoulder is braised gently with vegetable stock, apple juice, bay leaves and fresh mixed herbs until the meat is fork-tender and full of flavour. Meanwhile the Varoma steams peppers and sweet potatoes, which are then blended into a silky, naturally sweet mash without any lumps. The fruity chutney simmers in the mixing bowl under precise temperature control, so the sugars from the apple juice never burn, and the sweet wine sauce reduces into a glossy finish worthy of a restaurant. If you are searching for festive dinner recipes or an impressive weekend main course for guests, this combination of tender pork shoulder, colourful vegetables and homemade chutney delivers everything on one table with remarkably little washing up.
Preparation tips
- Choose a pork shoulder with a thin layer of fat and pat it dry before browning; this gives the meat a deeper colour and locks in the juices of the roast pork during the long cooking process.
- Taste the chutney before serving and balance it with a squeeze of apple juice or a pinch of sea salt; the sweet-spicy flavour should complement the sweet wine sauce without overpowering the pork shoulder.
- Leftover roast pork and chutney keep well together in a sealed container in the fridge and make an excellent filling for sandwiches or wraps the next day.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free variation: replace the sweet wine in the sauce with extra apple juice and a splash of white grape juice; the sauce stays glossy and fruity while remaining suitable for children and non-drinkers.
- Festive winter variation: add cubed pear and a cinnamon stick to the chutney and swap the peppers for root vegetables such as parsnips and carrots alongside the sweet potatoes for a seasonal Christmas version.
