- Heat a frying pan and brown the pork all over on a medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, until nicely coloured. Season with salt and pepper.
- Turn the vegetables, lay the pork in the middle of the tray and roast for about 20 minutes, until the meat reaches 65 °C inside and the vegetables are soft and golden.
- Finely shred the cabbage. Core the apples and cut them into thin sticks. Squeeze the lemon and toss the cabbage and apple with the juice and a pinch of salt.
- Stir together the quark, mustard and honey and season with salt.
- Take out the pork, wrap it in foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
