  1. THE ROAST WONDERFUL MOMENT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. NO DOUBT IN THIS SWORDFISH

    When the Butternut has 10-15 minutes remaining, pat the swordfish dry with paper towel. Coat in the NOMU rub, oil, and seasoning. Place it on the tray with the butternut (or on a separate baking tray), skin-side down. Bake for the remaining time, until cooked through and tender.

  3. CREAMY Onions

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add a knob of butter and stir in the cream. Remove from the heat and season.

  4. SWORDFISH TIME!

    Plate up the roasted Butternut half-moons, side with the baked swordfish and top with the creamy onion. Sprinkle over the parsley. Simply stunning, Chef!
