INGREDIENTS
40g trimmed Pork Belly
80g mixed carrots & parsnips
0.75 cup cooked lentils (~150g)
1 large egg
50g spinach
0.25 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon olive oil
Herbs & Spices to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Score the fat on the pork belly lightly and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Place the pork belly in a slow cooker with a splash of water and a drizzle of olive oil. Set on low and braise for 3-4 hours until tender.
Meanwhile, chop the carrots and parsnips into uniform pieces. Toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet in the oven for 25-30 minutes until caramelized.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the cooked lentils with a pinch of herbs to infuse flavor.
Sauté the spinach in a nonstick pan with a few drops of olive oil until just wilted.
Poach the egg in simmering water until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 3-4 minutes.
To plate, arrange the roasted root vegetables and herbed lentils side by side. Slice the tender pork belly into bite-sized pieces and add atop the vegetables.
Place the poached egg over the lentils, and garnish the dish with the sautéed spinach and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Finish with an extra sprinkle of pepper and fresh herbs.
