ROAST WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Coat the Apple wedges in oil, season, and set aside.
FOR THE CRUNCH
Place the chopped Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
ROAST Apple WEDGES
When the sweet potato has been roasting for 10 minutes, scatter over the Apple wedges. Roast for the remaining time.
FRY THE CHOP
Pat the Pork chop dry with paper towel. Using a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, make a few shallow incisions along the fat to prevent the meat from buckling during frying. Coat in oil, and season. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sear the pork chop, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, for 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, for 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.
Apple SAUCE
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with 10g of butter. When the butter starts foaming, add the grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the Apple sauce and 5ml of sweetener (to taste). Simmer until thickening, 2-3 minutes. Season.
FRESH & FINISHED
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil and season. Toss through the rinsed leaves, the diced Apples, and the Cucumber half-moons. Plate up the roast potato & apple, and the pork chop drizzled with the apple sauce. Serve the fresh salad on the side. Garnish with the toasted almonds. Well done, Chef!
