BEGIN THE BUTTERNUT
Place the butternut chunks in a pot of salted water over a medium-high heat. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional), and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, cover and set aside.
HEAVENLY HAZELNUTS
Place the chopped hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
PATTY PANS & PESTO
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patty pan pieces until charred, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan, season and set aside. In a bowl, loosen the pesto with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
PEA-CRUMB PORK
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the seasoned flour, and one containing the pea crumb. Pat the pork dry with paper towel and season with salt. Coat the pork chop in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly the pea crumb. Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed pork until golden and cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Keep an eye on the crumb as it can burn easily! Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
SUPERB SALAD
Separate the dill from the salad leaves. Roughly shred the rinsed leaves and chop the reserved dill. To a salad bowl, add the shredded leaves. Toss through the drained feta, the cooked patty pans, ½ the dill, the loosened pesto, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
PERFECT PLATE OF PORK
Plate up the creamy butternut mash and serve the crispy crumbed pork alongside. Garnish with the remaining dill. Side with the fresh salad, finished off with the toasted nuts.
