Cooking steps

Roast the Butternut
1
  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Pop the butternut squash onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with half the Middle Eastern spice mix, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.  Spread them out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and golden, 18-20 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
Pull the Pork
2
  • Remove all the packaging and pop the pork into an oven dish.
  • Cover with foil and cook on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins. 
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and pull apart with the help of two forks. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot all the way through.
Prep the Rest
3
  • Meanwhile, trim the cucumber, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
  • Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
4
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the onion and remaining Middle Eastern spice mix to the pan and fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
  • Add the pulled pork to the pan and cook for another 2-3 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
Make the Drizzle
5
  • Mix together the yoghurt, garlic and tahini. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Just before serving, toss the cucumber, parsley and tomato with half the yoghurt tahini dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
6
  • Arrange the tossed salad and butternut side by side between plates.
  • Top with the puleld pork and drizzle over the remaining yoghurt tahini drizzle.
