ROAST WITH THE MOST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the halved baby potatoes and the onion wedges in an oven-proof dish. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOASTED SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
BRILLIANT BECHAMEL
Place a small pot over medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the flour to form a roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk. Season and remove from the heat. Add a splash of water or milk (optional) if the sauce is too thick.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
When the roast has 5 minutes to go, return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden, 1-2 minutes per side. In the final 30 seconds, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
MORE CHEESE, PLEASE
When the roast is done, remove from the oven and mix in the fried chicken and the bechamel. Top with the cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is brown and crispy, 10-12 minutes.
NUTTY SALAD
In a bowl, combine the salad leaves, the cucumber half moons, the toasted seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
