When she was growing up, businesswoman Debbie Soo spent a lot of time watching her Peranakan mother cook for her and her sisters. They all learned how to cook and Debbie said she developed a roast pork loin recipe after one turkey dinner too many. She now cooks it for family and friends as an alternative to 'fowl things' each Christmas season.

Ingredients:

• 1 pork loin, flattened and spread out and seasoned with salt and pepper
  
• Prosciutto ham
  
• A generous amount of spring onions
  
• Several cloves of garlic
  
• Pineapple sauce:
  Freshly grated pineapple mixed with fresh mint sprigs, sugar and salt to taste

Method:

1. Place spring onions and garlic over the loin, roll up like spring roll and wrap with the prosciutto.

2. Tie with twine to prevent unravelling.

3. Cook for 30-to-40 minutes at 230 degrees Celsius.
