READY THE ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
IN A JAM
Remove the skin from the lemon wedges. Finely chop the flesh and discard the pips. Place a pot over a medium-high heat. Add the chopped lemon flesh, the sliced onions, the balsamic-Dijon, the sugar, and 100ml of water. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the lemon flesh has softened. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Set aside to cool and thicken in the fridge for at least 8-12 minutes. On completion, it should be a jam-like consistency.
WHAT YOU SEED IS WHAT YOU GET
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan, with a lid, over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion.
CHEEKY CHICKEN
When the butternut has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken breast dry with some paper towel. When the pan is hot, fry the chicken on one side for 5-7 minutes until golden. Flip, pop on the lid, and fry for a further 5-7 minutes until cooked through. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter and the rub. Remove from the heat on completion and rest in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
In a salad bowl, add the roasted butternut, the toasted pumpkin seeds, the rinsed green leaves, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Crumble in the drained feta and toss until fully combined.
LET’S EAT!
