Method
Before You Begin
Prepare your ingredients & cooking utensils: Use a chopping board and lay all the ingredients out. Take out any “Pantry Items”.
Washing Instructions
Wash your hands, red cabbage, baby potatoes and lemon well. Rinse your italian flat leaf parsley thoroughly and drain on paper towel.
Gino's Tip
Cooking your potatoes from cold water decreases cooking time and cooks your potato from the inside out, resulting in even cooking. Try not to cook root vegetables from boiling water as it seals the outside of your vegetable and promotes uneven cooking.
Step 1 - Crispy Bacon and Red Cabbage Gremolata
Cook your halved baby potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water for 12-15 minutes until soft and fork-tender.
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add a drizzling of olive oil, and fry your diced bacon for 4-5 minutes until crisp - drain on a paper towel. To the same pan, add your shredded red cabbage and cook for 8-10 minutes until slightly charred and tender. Remove your pan from the heat until your baby potatoes are cooked.
Once cooked, add your potatoes to your red cabbage along with your crispy bacon, lemon zest, juice, almonds, grated parmesan, and chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 2 - Sauced Pork Neck Steak
Season your pork neck steak with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, drizzle in some olive oil, and once your pan is hot, sear your pork neck steak for 2 minutes on each side until it had 8 minutes of cooking time in total. Transfer to a chopping board.
In the same pan, add your chicken stock, wholegrain mustard, and water, and bring your sauce to heat. Once done add your grilled pork neck steak to your pan and coat with your sauce.
To Serve
Place your crispy bacon and red cabbage gremolata on your plate. Top with your sauced pork neck steak.
