Pepita & Sesame Pork with Braised Cabbage

To prepare the ingredients, cut the pumpkin into 2 cm thick wedges. Lightly beat the egg. Finely slice the white cabbage and grate the green apple.

Place the pumpkin on a prepared tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, place the egg in a bowl and toss the pork loin steaks to coat. Place the HelloFresh Pepitas & Sesame Seed Mix on a plate and press pork into the seed mixture to coat well. Place on a plate and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook.

Heat half of the olive oil and the butter in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Add the cabbage, apple and fennel seeds and season with salt and pepper. Stir through the apple cider vinegar and water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes or until tender.

Heat the remaining olive oil in an ovenproof medium frying pan. Add the coated pork and cook for 5-6 minutes turning a couple of times throughout the cooking process, so the seeds don’t catch on the pan and burn. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven to cook for a further 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and rest for 5 minutes. Save any crunchy seed mixture from the base of the pan and place beside the pork on the paper towel.
