  1. BRIGHT AMBER VEGGIES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces and carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and starting to crisp, shifting halfway.

  2. TOASTY SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  3. PERFECT PORK FILLET

    When the veggies reach the halfway mark, return the pan to a medium-high heat. Pat the pork dry with some paper towel, coat in oil, and season. When the pan is hot, sear the pork for 4-6 minutes, shifting and turning as it colours. On completion, it should be browned all over and cooked through to your preference. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing, reserving the juices from the pan for serving.

  4. TOSS THE SALAD & GET THE SAUCE READY

    Place the rinsed salad leaves, sliced radish, and hard cheese shavings in a bowl. Toss together with a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning. Loosen the chimichurri with 1 tsp of olive oil.

  5. PILE UP A PLATE!

    Dish up the sliced pork fillet and pour over the reserved meat juices to taste. Side with the roast butternut and carrot wedges and the fresh salad. Scatter over the toasted pumpkin seeds and serve with the chimichurri on the side. Nice work, Chef!
