  1. COCONUT MILLET

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the millet in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 100ml of salted water and the coconut milk. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. BERBERE BUTTERNUT

    Place the berbere spice in a bowl with a drizzle of oil. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in ½ the berbere spice oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. ONION & CHICKPEAS

    Place the onion wedges and the rinsed chickpeas on a separate roasting tray. Coat in the remaining berbere spice oil and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. CREAMY CASHEW SAUCE

    In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, the cashew cream cheese, the grated ginger, ½ the chopped mint, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  5. ROAST WITH THE MOST

    When the butternut has been in for 15 minutes, pop the tray of dressed chickpeas & onions into the oven for the remaining time or until crispy.

  6. LOAD THE MILLET

    Toss the shredded leaves, the diced cucumber, and ½ the ginger cashew dressing through the cooked millet. Set aside.

  7. TIME TO ENJOY

    Plate up the loaded coconut millet and top with the roasted veg. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and garnish with the remaining mint.
