ONE TRAY GOODNESS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed chickpeas and the halved baby tomatoes on a roasting tray, coat in oil and seasoning. Pop in the hot oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy and the tomatoes are starting to char. In a bowl, combine the drained black beans, trimmed green beans, and grated garlic, with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
BULGAR WHEAT
Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with the fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside.
PORK FILLET
When the chickpeas and tomatoes have 8-10 minutes remaining, scatter the dressed beans over the tray and roast for the remaining time until beginning to crisp. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat. Pat the pork fillet dry with some paper towel, coat in oil, and season. When the pan is hot, sear the pork for 4-6 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours. On completion, it should be browned all over but not cooked through. Finish it off in the oven for 7-9 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
GOLDEN CRUMB
Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the ground almonds and fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from the heat and add the grated cheese, ¾ of the chopped parsley, the lemon zest and seasoning. Mix until fully combined.
ON A ROLL
When the pork is finished resting, lightly coat in the dijon mustard using a spoon or knife. Roll the mustard-basted fillet through the ground almond mix until well coated. Gently slice and season.
DIG IN!
Plate up the loaded roast veg. Side with the bouncy bulgar wheat, the crusted fillet slices and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley. Serve with a lemon wedge. Well done, Chef!
