Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds (no need to peel - there are lots of nutrients in the skin!). Chop it widthways into slices about 1cm thick and then into cubes. Put the squash on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast on the top shelf of your oven for 20 mins.
Boil your kettle. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the veggies. Separate the broccoli into florets (little trees!). Pour the boiling water (amount specified in the ingredient list) into a measuring jug and add the chicken stock pot. Stir to dissolve and set aside.
Put a frying pan on medium-high heat and drizzle in some oil. Add the pancetta. Cook for 5 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside. Season both sides of each pork steak with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Lay them in the (now empty) pan and cook until nicely browned, 2-3 mins on each side. Remove the pan from the heat
When the butternut has been cooking for 20 minutes, take it out of your oven and add the pancetta. Give the tray a shake to mix everything together, then lay the pork steaks on top. Return the tray to your oven and cook for another 15 mins.TIP: The pork is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
At the same time, pop the broccoli on another baking tray and drizzle over some oil. Season with a pinch of salt and place on the middle shelf of the oven. Cook for 15 mins as well.
Add the apple and sage jelly to your frying pan. Put it on medium-low heat and allow it to melt slowly. Add the stock and stir together until smooth. This is your glaze! Once everything is cooked, remove from your oven. Serve the pork steaks drizzled with the apple and sage glaze, alongside the roasted butternut and broccoli. Enjoy!
