Place the sliced potatoes in an ovenproof tray with 30g butter, 2 tbsp oil, a garlic clove sliced and salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 45/50 minutes (basting every 10).
STEP 4.

For the Green Medley Butter Emulsion, using the same pan that you used to pan-fry the pork loins add the diced shallot and remaining garlic till soft then add water. Once at a simmer, add butter and when melted add the asparagus. At the last minute, add the veg and then the spinach. Making sure you reduce the liquid as much as you can.
Finally, season and then serve.
