  1. ROAST BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces and drained chickpeas on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CARROT FRITTERS

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot and fritter flour. Season well.​​ Stir in cold water one tablespoon at a time until the batter comes together. You are looking for a batter with the texture of double cream. If it's too thick, add a little more water.

  3. ROAST VEG MEDLEY

    In a bowl, combine the cauliflower pieces, the remaining NOMU rub (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. When the butternut and chickpeas have 15-20 minutes to go, scatter over the cauliflower pieces and roast for the remaining time until the cauliflower is charred and the chickpeas are crispy and golden.

  4. FRIED FRITTERS

    Place a deep pan over a medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. When hot, scoop 1 tbsp of the batter per fritter, and gently lower it into the oil. Deep fry until cooked through and golden, 3-5 minutes (flipping halfway). Drain on paper towel.

  5. TOSSED SALAD

    In a bowl, toss the rinsed salad leaves, the sliced radish, the chopped peppers, seasoning, and olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt, the squeezed cucumber, ½ of the chopped coriander, and seasoning.

  6. BOWLED OVER!

    Dish up a hearty helping of roast butternut, cauliflower and crunchy chickpeas. Place the crispy carrot fritters alongside the veg and serve the fresh salad on the side. Spoon over the coconut raita and sprinkle over the remaining chopped coriander. Well done, Chef.
