Preparation
Start the vegetables
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 8 min., until partially cooked.
Cook the pork
- Meanwhile, pat the pork dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the pork* and cook, turning occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until seared.
- Reduce to medium-low and cook, 6 to 10 min., until cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest before slicing.
Finish the vegetables
- When the cauliflower is partially cooked, stir and add the squash, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well.
- Roast, 14 to 16 min., until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the pecans and ½ the maple syrup; toss well.
- Roast, 4 min., until browned.
Make the sauce
- Heat the reserved pan on medium.
- Add the demi-glace, mustard (start with ½), remaining maple syrup, ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions) and the peppercorns (start with ½).
- Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until slightly thickened.
Plate your dish
