ALL THE ALMONDS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
BEGIN THE BEETROOT
Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
MINT SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the peas and the grated garlic, and fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Remove from the heat and add to a blender with the picked mint and cottage cheese. Season and pulse until a smooth purée. Add water in 10ml increments if it’s too thick for your liking. Cover and set aside.
ARTICHOKE SALAD
Place the chopped artichokes and shredded leaves into a salad bowl. Toss with the drained feta, ½ the toasted nuts, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Set aside.
PERFECT PORK
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the pork dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the pork until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting as it colours). In the final minute, baste the pork with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and pop in the hot oven. Roast for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
AMAZING WORK, CHEF!
Smear the minty pea purée on one side of the plate and top with the pork slices. Serve roasted beetroot and the dressed salad alongside. Garnish with the remaining nuts.
