  1. STAR OF THE SHOW

    Rinse the halved leeks thoroughly and roughly slice. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the sliced leeks for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting constantly. Pour in the wine and cook for 1-2 minutes until almost evaporated. Add the shredded cabbage, the peas, and a splash of water. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the cabbage and peas are tender, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and squeeze in some lemon juice, a pinch of zest, and seasoning.

  2. SLIVERS OF GOLD

    Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  3. PORK-FECTION

    Return the pan to medium-high heat. Pat the pork fillet dry with paper towel. Coat in oil and season. When the pan is hot, sear the pork for 7-10 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours. On completion, it should be browned all over and cooked through. During the final minute, baste the pork with a knob of butter and the rub. Thinly slice and lightly season.

  4. FINAL ACT

    Drain and rinse the butter beans. Place the rinsed beans in a pot with 1 tbsp of milk or water and the crème fraîche. Place over medium-high heat. Once boiling, simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beans are warmed through. Remove from the heat and add a knob of butter and seasoning. Place in a blender or mash until desired consistency.

  5. TAKE A BOW

    Serve up the butter bean mash and top with the juicy pork slices. Plate the leek and cabbage alongside and sprinkle over the toasted almonds. Garnish with any remaining lemon wedges. Standing ovation, Chef!
