Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apple Jam

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped apples, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the apples are soft and the mixture is jam-like, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Season the pork belly with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly on all sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and let rest.

  3. 3

    Make the Butternut Squash Puree

    Peel and cube the butternut squash. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and blend with butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. In the same skillet used for the pork, add more olive oil if needed and sauté the Brussels sprouts until crispy and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spread a layer of butternut squash puree, place the sliced pork belly on top, add a generous spoonful of apple jam, and arrange the crispy Brussels sprouts on the side. Serve immediately.
