OVEN-CARAMELISED BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and the Roast Rub. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
TOASTED SEEDS & PESTO DRIZZLE
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Combine the basil pesto with 1 tsp of olive oil and set aside for serving.
VIBRANT SALAD
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water to cover the base. When starting to bubble, simmer the sliced green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. In the final minute, add the peas and simmer until heated through. On completion, transfer to a salad bowl along with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and the rinsed green leaves. Toss through the reserved sun-dried tomato oil and half of the balsamic vinegar until coated. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
BALSAMIC-BASTED PORK
Pat the pork fillet dry with some paper towel, coat in oil, and season. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork for 2-3 minutes, shifting and turning until browned but not cooked through. During the final minute, baste the pork with a knob of butter and the remaining balsamic vinegar. On completion, place in a piece of tinfoil and pour in the juices from the pan. Close up tightly and roast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until cooked to your preference. On completion, set aside to rest inside the foil for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
