INGREDIENTS
50g Pork Belly
1 large Egg (Whole)
1 Egg White
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
1 serving Mixed Roasted Root Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and set the roasting pan inside to warm.
Score the pork belly lightly and season with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs. Sear it in a hot oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.
Add a splash of water or low-sodium broth, cover the skillet, and transfer it to the oven. Slow-braise the pork belly at 300°F for about 1.5 to 2 hours until it becomes very tender.
While the pork belly is braising, toss chopped carrots and parsnips with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Prepare the cooked lentils if not already made. Warm them gently on the stovetop with a pinch of salt and a dash of olive oil.
In a small saucepan, gently poach the whole egg along with an additional egg white. Alternatively, cook the egg white separately until just set.
Plate a serving of warm lentils topped with the roasted root vegetables. Slice or arrange the slow-braised pork belly on top, and crown the dish with the poached egg and extra egg white.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, and serve immediately.
