Cooking Steps
Preheat the grill to high. Using paper towel, pat dry slow-cooked pork belly and wipe to remove any excess fat. Lightly score pork fat in a 1cm criss-cross pattern. Add a generous pinch of salt and rub over. Place pork, fat-side up, on a foil-lined oven tray. Grill on top rack until fat is golden and crispy, 35-40 minutes. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on your pork. You want it golden and crispy, but not burnt!
While the pork is grilling, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato, then cut into large chunks. Cook potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return potato to the pan. Add the milk, smoked Cheddar cheese and 1/2 the butter, then mash until smooth. Season to taste. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
While the potato is cooking, roughly chop herbs. Cut apple into small chunks. Trim green beans. Cut baby broccoli lengthways. Finely chop garlic.
When the pork has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook green beans, baby broccoli, walnuts and crushed macadamias, tossing, until greens are tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add Dijon mustard (see ingredients), toss to combine and season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with the remaining butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook apple and herbs, tossing occasionally, until browned, 4-6 minutes. Add onion chutney, the water and chicken-style stock powder. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
Slice pork belly. Divide smoked Cheddar mash, pork belly and nutty mustard greens between plates. Top pork with caramelised apple sauce to serve.
