Something like this by layer.
Some of the sauce on top and around the plate
Protein
Vegetable
Starch

reverse that order and you'll score top marks. starch on bottom, veg to accompany on side in a tight presentation, starch overtop of that but still shows the starch and veg, and sauce to pool just around the protein slightly

How do i exactly make a demi?

shortcut in this case, bring a brown beef stock or something meaty, and reduce the shit out of it and once its thickened a fair amount, add your flavouring agent. you're only way of making a "demi" in your time restraint

I guess i could do a mix celeriac and potatoes pureed with a food mill?

you could. simple mashed potatoes still works. just my suggestion


Yeah I know. I need to find a perfect sauce match with pork that can be made under 30 minutes, but I'm gonna give a orange sauce a try.
try reducing if that tickles your fancy
