Ingredients
- Pork fillet 600 g
- Hokkaido pumpkin 1 kg
- Salt Pinch
- Spring onions 2 bunches
- Pumpkin seeds 5 tbsp
- Coriander, fresh 30 g
- Oil 3 tbsp
- Balsamic vinegar, dark 4 tbsp
- Pepper, black ground Pinch
- Sugar Pinch
- Butter 2 tbsp
- Nutmeg, ground Pinch
Instructions
- 1. Rinse the pork fillet under running water, pat dry with kitchen paper and remove the silverskin if necessary. Cut the meat into medallions about 3 cm thick and set aside to come to room temperature.
- 2. Wash the pumpkin thoroughly, halve it and remove the seeds with a spoon. Then cut the flesh into rough pieces of about 2 cm, cover with salted water in a pot, bring to the boil and cook until tender over medium heat for about 10–12 minutes.
- 3. In the meantime, trim the spring onions, cut off the roots and cut the stalks into even thirds. Set aside.
- 4. Coarsely chop the pumpkin seeds. Wash the coriander, shake it dry thoroughly, trim the stems and chop coarsely. Mix both in a bowl and set aside.
- 5. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the pork medallions with salt and sear in the hot oil for about 1 minute in total on each side.
- 6. Add the spring onions and balsamic vinegar and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Continue to cook for approx. 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
- 7. Drain the cooked pumpkin and reserve 1–2 ladles of the cooking water. Add the butter to the pumpkin and mash into a puree with a potato masher. Dilute with the reserved water if necessary. Season the puree with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- 8. Plate the pumpkin puree, place the spring onions next to it and sprinkle the coriander mixture over it. Finally, place the pork medallions on top and serve. Enjoy your meal!
