Do

1  

Place macadamias on a baking tray and bake in a cold oven set to 200°C for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle with a pinch of pink salt flakes and set aside. Leave oven on 200°C.

2  

Place onion, garlic, fennel seeds and EVOO into Thermomix bowl and chop 3 sec/ speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl and sauté 5 min/Varoma/speed 1.

3  

Add spinach and macadamias to Thermomix bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Taste and adjust seasoning.

4  

Add prepared pear, red onion, fennel and beetroot to a lightly greased baking dish. Drizzle with EVOO, balsamic and sprinkle coconut sugar and generously season with salt and pepper. Bake 30-40 minutes until just tender, stirring half way through cooking time.

5  

Meanwhile, butterfly pork fillet and spread filling evenly across the pork. Roll up and place into a Stasher Bag. Seal Stasher Bag and place into the Varoma, add 500g water to the Thermomix bowl and steam pork 20 min/100ºC/speed 3.

6  

Allow pork to cool enough to handle (it will not be completely cooked through at this stage), wrap in prosciutto and place on top of par-roasted veggies and pear mix.

7  

Repeat steaming with second fillet (if using) and add to roasting dish.

8  

Bake 15-20 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve sliced with the roasted veggies and pears.

Christmix Tip: If you do not have a Stasher Bag, you can purchase one from good kitchen stores or you can alternatively roll the pork fillet once stuffed in aluminum foil. It needs to be tightly rolled or the filling will just come out during steaming.
