This salad is a delicious gem of a dish. A beautifully browned pork schnitty lies next to gem lettuce halves drizzled with a blue cheese dressing – a perfect match. Radish rounds & fresh chives add a nice fresh crunch, while roasted beetroot adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the creamy feta. It’s a simple showstopper, Chef!

RUBY GEMS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the beetroot chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy, shifting halfway.
BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
In a small bowl, add the blue cheese (to taste) and the cottage cheese. Mix with a fork or potato masher until combined. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Add ½ the chopped chives, season, and set aside.
THAT’S SEEDY
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
BEEF IT UP
When the beetroot has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzels dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the schnitzels for 30-60 seconds per side until golden and cooked through. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the remaining rub. Season to taste.
