  1. ROOTING FOR YOU

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the beetroot chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and becoming crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the onion wedges in a bowl. Coat in oil and season. Set aside.

  2. PERFECT PASTA

    Place a pot over medium-high heat and fill with salted water. When boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.

  3. ADD THE AROMATICS

    When the beetroot has been roasting for 10 minutes, add the dressed onion wedges and the whole, unpeeled garlic clove to the tray with the beetroot. Roast for the remaining time.

  4. THYME TO GET NUTTY

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken mini fillets until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with 30g of butter, the sunflower seeds, the chopped thyme and seasoning. Remove from the heat, reserving the pan sauce, and rest for 3 minutes.

  5. BLEND THAT BEETROOT, BABY!

    When the veg roast is done, remove the skin from the garlic clove and place the flesh in a blender. Add ¾ of the roasted beetroot, ¾ of the goat’s cheese, the roasted onion, the lemon juice to taste, and 100ml of the reserved pasta water. Blend until smooth. Add an extra splash of water if necessary. Season to taste. Add the beetroot sauce to the pot of cooked pasta and toss until coated.

  6. FANCY DINNER

    Plate up the pink pasta. Top with the chicken, the remaining beetroot, and the remaining goat’s cheese. Drizzle over the thyme & nut pan sauce. Wonderful, Chef!
