BEGIN THE BEET
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, place the beetroot chunks in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, season, and cover.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
JUICY PORK
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. Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the pork chop, fat-side down, until the fat is rendered and crispy, 3-5 minutes. Then, fry until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter.
ASSEMBLE THE SALAD
In a bowl, combine the diced pepper, the thin tomato wedges, the cucumber rounds, the diced pickled onion, the shredded leaves, the roasted beetroot, the vinegar, the toasted seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
SENSATIONAL!
Dish up the loaded salad. Crumble over the drained feta. Side with the fried pork. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
