For the pork: Place the pocket roast of pork in a vacuum pack with the oil, a slice of lemon, the sprig of rosemary, clove of garlic and 20 pepper corns. Cook with 100% steam at 65ºC for 8 hours. Leave to cool. Remove from the pack and sear the meat on a griddle. Add salt and serve immediately.
For the pickled mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms. Chop the leeks and shallots and sauté in olive oil. Add the white wine and vinegar then
reduce to half. Add the remaining olive oil with the thyme, pepper, salt and
mushrooms. Cook over a low heat for 30 minutes. Leave to cool.
TO SERVE: Serve the cake with the sliced, seared meat. Accompany with the pickled mushrooms. (If preferred, the pickled mushrooms can be blended to form a cream).
