Steps
- Preheat oven to 190°C Fan Forced.
For the Peach Ketchup
- Place diced peaches, caster sugar and water into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook until softened and the liquid reduces, allowing the peaches to caramelise slightly and develop colour.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, verjuice and season with salt and pepper.
- Add butter and cook for a further 5 minutes until glossy and thickened.
- Remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth.
- Set aside.
For the Parsnip Purée
- Peel parsnips, removing and discarding the woody core. Roughly chop into cubes.
- Place in a medium saucepan with butter and cover with milk and bring to a simmer.
- Cook over medium heat until completely tender.
- Drain but reserve some liquid, just in case you need to thin out your puree.
- Return drained parsnip to the saucepan with cream, butter, salt and pepper.
- Blend with an immersion blender until silky smooth.
- Add a little of the reserved milk here if you feel you need a smoother texture.
- Pass through a fine sieve for an ultra-smooth purée.
- Keep warm.
For the Pork Jus
- Heat oil in a heavy pot on high heat.
- Brown ribs well on all sides.
- Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic and cook until golden and slightly caramelised.
- Deglaze with white wine and reduce by half. Add chicken stock and simmer rapidly for about 30 minutes to reduce.
- Strain sauce, discarding solids, and return to saucepan. Reduce for a further 10–12 minutes until rich and concentrated.
- Lower heat and whisk in cold butter gradually for shine and body.
- Season with salt and keep warm until ready to serve.
For the Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Sirloin
- Trim all external fat from the pork and shape into an even cylinder.
- Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Brush the pork generously with Peach Ketchup and lay sage leaves evenly over the surface of the pork.
- Wrap tightly in prosciutto, overlapping slightly.
- Secure firmly with kitchen twine to maintain a tight, even shape.
- Heat oil in an oven safe frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork on all sides until golden, approximately 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer to oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 50°C.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes, bringing the internal temperature to 58°C.
For the Garnish
- Toast macadamias in a dry fry pan until lightly golden. Cool and roughly chop.
- Cut the cheeks off the peaches and discard the pips.
- Lightly caramelise peach cheeks in a hot pan until golden and just softened. Set aside.
- Add grapeseed oil to fry pan and fry sage leaves until crisp.
To Serve
- Spoon some Parsnip Purée onto the center of each serving plate.
- Remove the twine from the Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Sirloin and slice into thick medallions.
- Arrange two pieces of pork onto each plate.
- Add grilled Peach Cheeks alongside and finish with dollops of Peach Ketchup.
- Scatter Toasted Macadamias and Crispy Sage Leaves over the top.
- Serve with Pork Jus on the side to pour over.
