  1. READY, SET, BOIL

    Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the butternut chunks and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until soft, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add ½ the tahini, a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter (optional), and seasoning. Mash until smooth.

  2. DRESS IT UP

    Place the lamb mince in a bowl with the sliced spring onion whites. Mix until well combined and season. Roll into 3 koftas. Loosen the remaining tahini with the lemon juice. Add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener.

  3. I’LL FRY IF I WANT TO

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas until crispy and caramel in colour, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 4-5 minutes, add the sliced green beans and the NOMU rub. Season and set aside.

  4. COOK THE KOFTAS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the koftas until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes (shifting as they colour).

  5. CREATE THE SIDE SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, the chopped cranberries, and the roasted chickpeas & green beans.

  6. MMMOROCCAN MEAL

    Plate up the tahini-butternut mash and top with the lamb koftas. Drizzle over the tahini lemon dressing. Side with the chickpea salad. Garnish with the crumbled feta, the spring onion greens, and picked parsley. What a masterpiece, Chef!
