GOLDEN CARROTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
A IS FOR ALMONDS
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.
CRISPY KASSLER
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. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
MMMUSHROOM SAUCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mushrooms until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with 50ml of water and mix in the sour cream. Lightly simmer until thickening, 1-2 minutes. Cover and remove from the heat.
NUTTY SALAD
When the carrots are done, toss with the shredded leaves, ½ the chopped almonds, and the drained peppers.
WELL DONE!
Serve the loaded carrot wedges alongside the sliced pork. Top with the mushroom sauce and garnish it all with the remaining nuts.
