  1. DILL-LICIOUS

    In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt and the drained feta. Mash with a fork until smooth. Add water in 5ml increments if the mixture is not coming together. Alternatively, place in a blender and pulse until smooth. Stir through ½ the chopped dill, ½ the lemon zest (to taste), and seasoning.

  2. SHOW ME THE HONEY!

    Roughly chop the mixed nuts. Place a pan, with a lid, over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the chopped nuts until browned, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the honey, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, the remaining lemon zest (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CLASSIC COMBO

    Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the quartered leeks and the trimmed green beans until starting to char, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Simmer until the water has evaporated, 2-3 minutes. In the final minute, toss in a knob of butter (optional). Remove from the pan. Squeeze over a drizzle of lemon juice, season, and cover.

  4. INTO THE FRYING PAN

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with a lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final minute, baste the chicken with a knob of butter (optional) and the NOMU rub. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. ALL ARTI-CHOKED UP

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the artichoke pieces, the remaining dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  6. LOOK AT THAT!

    Smear the whipped feta on the plate. Top with the chicken slices. Side with the charred green beans & leeks and the dressed salad. Sprinkle over the honeyed nuts. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Well done, Chef!
