Compliment your super-easy-to-prepare flower-fed pork from Scan with this tasty Nordic salad! Kids are back in school, summer is drawing to an end and so we now look into our recipe book for our best autumn inspired recipes. Scan’s pork can be cooked any way you like- since it’s loaded with high-quality fat, the meat is quick to prepare and stays juicy and tender. Cooking time is less critical as well, making our premium pork very easy to prepare. Now the perfect side dish is a bit more complicated! A nordic favorite, we think you’ll enjoy this innovative Pumpkin Salad with Kale, Cherry Tomatoes and Beluga Lentils.

Hokkaido pumpkin has a variety of uses in the kitchen and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Remove the seeds and fibres before cooking your Hokkaido pumpkin. We did peel it for this recipe, but the peel is edible and softens greatly during cooking. You will definitely appreciate delicate, sweet, slightly nutty flavour of the Hokkaido pumpkin, but be careful not not overcook it.
Our Pumpkin Salad with Kale, Cherry Tomatoes and Beluga Lentils serves 6,  generously portioned alongside the delectable premium pork from Taste of Scan - always tender, juicy pork.
