Preparation
Boil the potatoes
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil. Halve the potatoes (quarter if large). Place the potatoes in a second medium pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, 14 to 18 min., until tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add 2 tbsp butter, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the cucumbers lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces. Thinly slice the radishes. Halve, peel and mince the shallot.
Grill 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. Add to the BBQ and grill, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through. In the last min., brush with the BBQ sauce. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, radishes, ½ the shallot, the vinaigrette and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pot of potatoes, add the remaining shallot. Divide the potatoes, pork and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
