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.
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 (to taste).
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.
