ROASTED AUBS
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the aubergine wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
ALL THE ALMONDS
Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CHOP-CHOP PORK CHOP
Pat the pork chop dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Coat in oil, and season. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chop, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, for 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the fennel seeds (to taste). Remove from the heat and reserve any pan juices.
CHERRY & MINT SALAD
Place the shredded leaves in a bowl and toss together with the cherry halves, ½ the chopped mint, ½ the toasted nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and season.
WHAT A DELIGHT!
Plate up the golden aubergine wedges alongside the fennel basted pork. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Side with the cherry salad and sprinkle over the crumbled feta. Finish with a scattering of the remaining mint and nuts.
