Pork & Blue Cheese Wedge Salad

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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. DELISH, CHEF!

    Drizzle the blue cheese sauce over the gem lettuce halves. Top with the radish rounds. Side with the schnitzel and the beetroot sprinkled with the crumbled feta. Scatter over the pumpkin seeds and the remaining chives. Dive in!
