SWEET WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
WONKA WHIP
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and the crumbled 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 lemon zest (to taste), the juice from 1 lemon wedge (to taste), and seasoning. Set aside.
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.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
SCRUMPTIOUS SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss the shredded leaves with ½ the chopped dried figs, a squeeze of lemon juice, ½ the honeyed nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
MARVELLOUS!
Smear the whipped feta on the plate. Top with the chicken slices and side with the sweet potato wedges and the lemon-dressed fig salad. Sprinkle over the remaining honeyed nuts and figs. Serve with any remaining lemon on the side. Wonderful, Chef!
