ROAST CARROTS & CRACKLING RIND
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the carrot wedges and the rind slices on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway until cooked through and the rind is crispy, crunchy and crackling.
APPLES
Place the apple wedges on a separate roasting tray and bake in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes until softened.
CRISPY, GOLDEN PORK
Pat the pork belly dry with some paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the pork belly for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned. Remove from the pan and place on the tray with the apples. Roast for 8-12 minutes until cooked through and golden.
WE WILL BROC YOU
In a bowl, toss the halved broccoli with a drizzle of oil, the picked thyme, and some seasoning. When the carrots have 10-15 minutes remaining, remove the tray from the oven and add the broccoli. Roast for the remaining time until cooked through.
CARAMELISED APPLE PURÉE
When the apples are done, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the wine and leave to simmer for about 1-2 minutes until almost all evaporated. Add in the cream and stock, and allow to reduce for a further 3-5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender along with the roasted apples until a rustic purée forms. Season to taste.
BRING THE ZING
Smear the apple purée over the plate. Top with the pork belly. Side with the golden carrots, broccoli and crackling. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and indulge yourself!
