  1. PUMP UP THE PUMPKIN

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2cm of boiling water covering the base. Once steaming, place the pumpkin pieces in a colander over the pot and cover with a lid. Allow to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one.

  2. DRESSED TO IMPRESS

    In a bowl, combine the honey-mustard dressing with 5ml of olive oil. Toss through the halved baby tomatoes, season to taste, and set aside to marinate.

  3. POP THE SEEDS

    Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat. When hot, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  4. CRISPY KASSLER

    Pat the Pork dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until crispy. (It doesn’t need oil, it will render its own fat!) Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and glossy. During the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the Spanish Rub to taste. Remove on completion (leaving the meat juices in the pan) and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  5. FINAL TOUCHES

    When the pumpkin is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional), and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and combined. If too thick, loosen with a splash of milk or water. Replace the lid and set aside to keep warm until serving. Return the pan to the heat and fry the peas for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and coated. On completion, transfer to a salad bowl. Toss through the rinsed green leaves, Cucumber half-moons, baby tomatoes, and honey-mustard dressing to taste.

  6. DIG IN

    Plate up the smoky Pork kassler and side with hearty helpings of pumpkin mash and garden salad. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds and the origanum leaves. Good work, Chef!

How do I prepare Smoky Kassler & Pumpkin Mash?

POP THE SEEDS: Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat. When hot, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. DRESSED TO IMPRESS: In a bowl, combine the honey-mustard dressing with 10ml of olive oil. Toss through the halved baby tomatoes, season to taste, and set aside to marinate. PUMP UP THE PUMPKIN: Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2cm of boiling water covering the base. Once steaming, place the pumpkin pieces in a colander over the pot and cover with a lid. Allow to steam for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one. DIG IN: Plate up the smoky pork kassler and side with hearty helpings of pumpkin mash and garden salad. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds and the origanum leaves. Good work, Chef! CRISPY KASSLER: Pat the pork dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork fat-side down for 3-5 minutes until crispy. (It doesn’t need oil, it will render its own fat!) Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and glossy. During the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the Spanish Rub to taste. Remove on completion (leaving the meat juices in the pan) and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before serving. FINAL TOUCHES: When the pumpkin is cooked, drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter or coconut oil (optional), and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and combined. If too thick, loosen with a splash of milk or water. Replace the lid and set aside to keep warm until serving. Return the pan to the heat and fry the peas for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and coated. On completion, transfer to a salad bowl. Toss through the rinsed green leaves, cucumber half-moons, baby tomatoes, and honey-mustard dressing to taste.
