Method

  1. Take the pork out of the fridge to take the chill off. Grate the carrots into a bowl, add the sugar, vinegar and a pinch of salt, then mix well. Slice the pork into 2cm thick rounds, then press lightly with your hands to flatten.
  2. Crush the peppercorns (see tip) and sea salt to coarse crumbs in a pestle and mortar, add the flour and combine. Brush the pork with a little oil and toss in the salt and pepper mixture to coat lightly.
  3. Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a wide frying pan over a medium- high heat, add the pork and cook for 1½ minutes on each side (don’t overcrowd the pan).
