Preparation
Make the mash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes. Add the ginger and sweet potatoes to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P.
Roast the zucchini
Meanwhile, halve the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces on an angle. On a lined sheet pan, toss with ½ the mango chutney, a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 7 to 9 min., until browned and tender.
Cook & coat the pork
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towel and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the pork* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through. Add the remaining mango chutney and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, spooning the sauce over the pork, 1 to 2 min., until coated.
Plate your dish
Divide the mash between your plates. Top with the zucchini and pork (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
