  1. BEAUT BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. PREP STEP

    While the butternut is roasting, rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Finely chop the pecans. Peel and grate the garlic. Rinse, trim and halve the green beans. In a bowl, combine the sticky sauce, the soy sauce, the grated garlic, the vinegar (to taste), seasoning, 5ml of a sweetener of choice, and 20ml of water.

  3. TOAST UP

    When the butternut has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan over medium-high heat with the chopped pecans. Toast for 2-3 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan.

  4. GREEN BEAN SALAD

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the halved green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. Toss with a drizzle of oil and season. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl with the shredded salad leaves, the sliced radish, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until fully combined.

  5. CREAMY MASH

    When the butternut is done, remove from the oven and place in a bowl. Add the cream and a knob of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Season and cover to keep warm.

  6. BASTE TO TASTE

    Pat the pork dry with paper towel and season. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, cook the pork for 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden (this timeframe may depend on the thickness of your pork). In the final 2-3 minutes, baste the pork with the sticky sauce. Add a splash of water if it reduces too quickly. Remove from the pan, reserving the sauce, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  7. YOU DIDN’T PORK AROUND!

    Plate up the butternut mash and sprinkle over the toasted pecan nuts. Side with the green bean salad and the sticky pork slices drizzled with the reserved sticky sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped chives. Good work, Chef!
