  1. HALF-MOON HEAVEN

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut half-moons on half of a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes, shifting halfway. In a bowl, toss the halved baby tomatoes with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Set aside.

  2. TIME TO GO NUTS

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CARAMELISATION STATION

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 7-9 minutes until soft and caramelised, shifting occasionally. At the halfway mark, add a sweetener of choice (to taste).

  4. THE ROAST WITH THE MOST

    When the butternut is halfway, remove the tray from the oven and scatter the dressed baby tomatoes over the other half of the tray. Return to the oven and roast for the remaining time. On completion, the tomatoes should be starting to blister and the butternut should be cooked through.

  5. SAUCE IT UP

    Boil the kettle. When the onions are done, keep the onions in the pan and the pan on the heat and add the grated garlic and the crushed pepper to the pan. Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add 100ml of boiling water and the stock. Leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from the heat and add the crème fraîche. Loosen with a splash of water if the sauce is too thick. Season to taste. Cover to keep warm.

  6. PERFECT THE PORK

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the pork rump dry with paper towel and coat in seasoning. When the pan is hot, sear the steak, fat-side down, for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then, fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through (this time frame may depend on the thickness of the steak). Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices. In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the toasted almonds, the roasted tomatoes, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
