OODLES OF NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season and set aside to rehydrate, 6-8 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, and set aside in a bowl.
PREP STEP
Prep the tomato, the green leaves, the basil, the olives, and the feta as specified in the ingredient table. In a small bowl, loosen the pesto with olive oil in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
ADD SOME COLOUR
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, char the tomato pieces until blistered, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, toss with a sweetener (to taste), the cooked noodles, the shredded leaves, the peas, ½ the loosened pesto, and seasoning. Remove from the heat and set aside.
AND YOU’RE DONE!
Plate up the delicious charred tomato and noodles. Top with the halved olives, the chopped biltong, and the pumpkin seeds. Crumble the drained feta over the salad and garnish with the torn basil. Enjoy, Chef!
