  1. FIST PUMP-KIN TO THE BEET

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Wash the beetroot, trim the ends, and cut into bite-size chunks. Place the beetroot and the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the chopped thyme and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy, shifting halfway.

  2. SEEDS & SLURRY

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Dilute the stock with 85ml of boiling water. Place the cornflour in a small bowl and mix in 1 tbsp of the diluted stock until a runny paste – this is called a slurry!

  3. CLASSIC RED WINE SAUCE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the remaining thyme and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Whisk in the diluted stock, the red wine, and the cornflour slurry until well combined. Lower the heat slightly and reduce for 3-4 minutes until thick and silky, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.

  4. SLICE, SLICE BABY!

    Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, pan-fry the schnitzel for 30-60 seconds per side until golden and cooked through. In the final minute, use a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil to baste the schnitzel. Remove from the pan on completion, season, and slice.

  5. SPRUCE THE SALAD

    In a bowl, combine ½ the toasted pumpkin seeds, the rinsed green leaves, the drained feta, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil.

  6. SERVICE, CHEF!

    Plate up the juicy pork slices alongside the roasted beetroot and pumpkin. Pour over the delectable red wine sauce and serve with the fresh salad on the side. Sprinkle over the remaining seeds. Yum!
