Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
4 pork loin steaks or chops
250g vine-ripened midi plum tomatoes
25g pine nuts
Good splash balsamic vinegar
Large bunch basil

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the pork steaks or chops for 1-2 minutes each side until golden brown. Transfer to a large roasting tin, spaced well apart. Cut the tomatoes in half and scatter over the pork, followed by the pine nuts. Season well. Put the roasting tray in the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until the pork is tender.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the vinegar and scatter with the fresh basil leaves. Spoon the pork, tomatoes and basil on to 4 warm plates. Serve drizzled with a little extra olive oil.

Here we’ve gone for small plum tomatoes on the vine, which are deliciously sweet and look great. If you can’t find them, use double the amount of cherry tomatoes instead.
