I CARROT BELIEVE IT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby carrots on half of a roasting tray. Spread the halved baby tomatoes on the other half of the tray. Coat in oil, and season. Sprinkle ½ the dried thyme over the dressed baby tomatoes. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until carrots are cooked through and the tomatoes are blistering, shifting halfway.
PINE, AND YOU?
Place the pine nuts in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside for serving.
SIZZLING & SEARING
Pat the pork neck dry with paper towel and season. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, cook the pork neck steak for 4-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden (time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork). In the last 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the remaining thyme. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Thickly slice before serving, and lightly season.
CITRUS FEAST
Cut half the orange into wedges and cut the other half into rounds. Cut the skin and the rind off the rounds and set aside for serving. Discard the skin and rind. In a bowl, combine the juice of 1 orange wedge, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the sweet-soy, the grated garlic, the orange zest, the lemon zest, and seasoning.
SO SAUCY
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat and pour in the citrus sauce. Leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced and thickened. In the final 1-2 minutes, add 10g of butter.
DINNER LOADING…
When the tomatoes are done, place in a bowl. Add the rinsed green leaves, the toasted pine nuts, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
PLATE UP!
Plate up the pork slices drizzled with the citrus sauce. Garnish with the chopped coriander. Serve with the roasted baby carrots and the charred tomato salad. Side with orange rounds. Bon appetit!
