  1. READY THE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Spread out the sweet potato pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through, shifting halfway.

  2. FAB FILLING

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the chopped apple, ¾ of the mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the lemon zest. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the apple is soft. Add the brandy and simmer for 1-2 minutes until almost evaporated. Add ½ the dried cranberries and ½ the chopped walnuts. Mix until combined and season.

  3. PORK NECK

    Pat the pork neck steak dry and season. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, cook the pork for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, or until cooked through and golden. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Thickly slice before serving, and lightly season.

  4. SAGE & SALAD

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with 30g of butter. Once foaming, add the rinsed sage leaves. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the leaves are crispy. In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the remaining mustard, walnuts & cranberries, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of oil, and some seasoning.

  5. YUM!

    Plate up the pork slices and top with the apple mixture. Drizzle over the sage butter. Side with the roasted sweet potato and the walnut salad. Serve any remaining filling and lemon wedges on the side.
