Boil the potatoes
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil.

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 and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) 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 before slicing.
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!
