ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the gem squash on a roasting tray. Lightly drizzle with oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes.
TOAST
Place the Walnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
PERFECT Pork
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. Return the pan to medium-high heat. 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 and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, season, and rest for 5 minutes.
SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the mustard dressing, a drizzle of olive oil, and sweetener (to taste). Mix to emulsify. Add the salad leaves, Apple/s, and the nuts, toss to combine, and season.
