57.7g protein
22.7g carbs
20g sugar
0.2 salt
1. Preheat the oven to 240°C/fan220°C/gas 9. Unroll the pork and score the skin. Grind the berries with the sage, season, and sprinkle over the meat side of the pork. Re-roll and tie up. Weigh the joint. Roast in a lightly greased roasting tin for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4 and roast for 30 minutes per 500g, or until the juices run clear when pierced. Put the pork on a plate, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the cabbage. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cabbage, sugar, berries and wine. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Season, add the pears and cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid is mostly evaporated. Cover and set aside.
3. Make the gravy. Pour the excess fat from the roasting tin and put the tin over a medium heat. Stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute, and gradually stir in the stock, scraping as you go. Bring to the boil, reduce and season. Strain into a serving jug. Carve the pork and lay slices on the cabbage to serve.
