TOAST
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN Chicken
Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden but not cooked through, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
CREAMY Chicken
Return the pan to medium heat with all the pan juices and a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the sliced onions until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced Cabbage, the tomato paste, and the rub & paprika, and fry until slightly wilted and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the chicken and ¾ of the cream. Simmer until slightly thickening and the chicken is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season.
MASH
Place a pot over medium-high heat with the rinsed beans, the peas, and 40ml of milk (optional) or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter (optional) and the remaining Cream. Place in a blender or mash with a fork until the desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk (optional) or water. Season and cover.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the mash, serve alongside the creamy paprika Chicken, and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds. Garnish with the rinsed basil. Well done, Chef!
