GARLIC & CHEESE BAGUETTE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, combine the grated garlic, ½ the chopped parsley, 20ml of oil, and seasoning. Place the baguette on a chopping board and cut 4 horizontal incisions along the top of the baguette - don’t cut all the way through! Smear each incision with the garlic oil and insert a slice of cheese inside each incision. Wrap the stuffed baguette in tinfoil, place on a baking tray, and pop in the hot oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until warmed through. In the final 3-5 minutes, remove the tinfoil and bake until crisp and the cheese has melted.
SIZZLING STEAK
Pat the pork neck steak dry with some paper towel and season. Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pork for 4-5 minutes per side (this time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork) until cooked through and golden. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Season to taste.
LOOKING FRESH
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, a drizzle of oil, a sweetener of choice, and seasoning. Add the rinsed salad leaves, the chopped pickled peppers and the cucumber half-moons. Toss until fully combined.
