SAGE & SWEET POTATO
Place the sweet potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add ½ the rinsed sage, a knob of butter (optional) or a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until the sweet potato pieces are fully coated. Cover.
LET’S PREP
Boil the kettle. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, place the stock in a small bowl. Add the Dijon mustard and 100ml of boiling water. Mix until fully combined. Rinse and slice ½ the apple into wedges, setting aside the remaining half for another meal.
TOAST
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
KASSLER & SAUCE
Pat the kassler dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the kassler from buckling during frying. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, sear the kassler fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the kassler and sear until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Add the apple & onion wedges. Fry until the apple has softened, 3-4 minutes (shifting frequently). Add the remaining sage and the mustard stock mix. Leave to simmer until the liquid has reduced and slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season.
CRUNCHY SALAD
In a bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the toasted nuts, the red wine vinegar (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
