  1. GOLDEN PUMPKIN

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CHICKEN

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.

  3. COCONUT SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and ginger and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut cream, the chicken stock, and 100ml of boiling water. Simmer until reduced slightly, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  4. SILKY PURÉE

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with the rinsed beans 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. 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 to keep warm.

  5. ADD MORE FLAVOUR

    Once the sauce is done, remove it from the heat and mix through the cooked chicken, the roasted pumpkin pieces, the sliced chilli (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander and the lime juice (to taste). Season and remove from the heat.

  6. SERVE AND SAVOUR

    Make a bed of the butter bean mash and top with the coconut lime chicken. Garnish with the remaining coriander and chilli (if you want more heat).
