ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrots on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway).
PERFECT Pork CHOP
Pat the Pork chop/s 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. Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chop/s, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, for 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter.
CREAMED Spinach
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary and a knob of butter. Fry the Spinach until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the garlic and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Mix in the yoghurt and the cream cheese. Remove from the heat, loosen with a splash of water if it's too thick, and season.
