BUTTERNUT MASH
Place the butternut pieces in a pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
PUMPKIN SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MUSTARD JAM
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced onion until soft and caramelised, 7-9 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 4-5 minutes, add the mustard, the jam, and a splash of water.
CRACK ON WITH THE CABBAGE
While the onion is caramelising, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced cabbage and fry until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 2-3 minutes, add the grated garlic and the lemon juice. Add a sweetener (optional), and season. Remove from the pan and cover.
CRISPY KASSLER
Pat the kassler dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the kassler from buckling during frying. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, sear the kassler, fat-side down, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the kassler and sear until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Return the caramelised onion sauce to a low heat and add a splash of water to reheat, if necessary.
THE PERFECT PLATE
Plate up the butternut mash. Side with the sautéed cabbage and the kassler smothered in the caramelised onion sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and the toasted seeds. Go ahead, Chef!
