red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic red wine

💰Cheaper: grape juice

Grape juice can mimic flavor without alcohol.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a similar richness.

pork loin

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is more affordable and flavorful.

fresh herbs

💰Cheaper: dried herbs

Dried herbs are more accessible and have a longer shelf life.

Prepare the pork by making small cuts on the outside where the fat goes to prevent shrinking.

Season the pork with salt and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

While the pork is grilling, prepare the red wine sauce by adding red wine to a saucepan.

Add fresh herbs, bay leaves, and reduce the wine mixture by about 50%.

Add honey and sugar to the sauce to thicken it.

Roast spring onions in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes until caramelized.

Check the sauce; if it's too thick, add a little water or vegetable stock.

Slice the grilled pork and serve with the red wine sauce and roasted spring onions.
