CHOP-CHOP
Place the chopped Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
PATTY PANS GO INTO THE PAN
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, place into a bowl and season.
BUTTER-BASTED Pork
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the pork until browned, 4-6 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter, and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
BATTER
In a bowl, combine the flour mix and seasoning. Gradually add the cold water, whisking until you get a smooth batter (similar to pancake batter).
CRISPY Onion RINGS
Place a pot over medium-high heat with 4-5cm of oil. Dip each Onion ring into the batter, letting the excess drip off. Carefully place the rings into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain on paper towel.
NUTTY SALAD
In a small bowl, combine the salad dressing with 5ml of olive oil and seasoning. To the bowl with the patty pans, add the shredded leaves, the halved olives, the drained Feta, the toasted nuts, and the salad dressing. Set aside.
PERFECT PLATE OF Pork
Serve the Pork slices with the golden Onion rings on the side. Pile up the patty pan salad alongside and serve the mayo on the side for dipping.
