Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced.

Season pork on all sides with salt and pepper. Add pork to a hot pot with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on medium heat and sear on all sides. Add vegetables to a hot, large frying pan over medium-high heat with remaining olive oil. Saute for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. 

Transfer vegetables to the pot, add stock, glaze and an extra drizzle of honey over the pork.
