PAPRIKA VEGGIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the veg mix on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, paprika, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
BEGIN THE BEET
Place the Beetroot in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, and combine with the vinegar, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
SWEET POPS OF Corn
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MAKE AND ADD THE CREAMINESS
Place a pot over medium heat with 10g [20g]|#7DA0D7 of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the flour to form a roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, season and remove from the heat. Mix the bechamel and Corn through the mixed veg. Scatter over the cheese, and return to the oven, until the cheese is golden, 5-6 minutes.
PERFECT Pork
Pat the kassler dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the kassler from buckling during frying. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, sear the kassler, fat-side down, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the kassler and sear until browned, 2-3 minutes per side.
DELISH DINNER
Spoon the creamy bake onto the plate and serve with the seared kassler. Side with the pickled beets and scatter over the chives.
