  1. ROAST ONIONS & LENTILS

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the sliced green beans, onion wedges, and the drained lentils on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the Moroccan Rub, season (to taste) and toss to coat. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until the veggies are cooked through and the lentils are turning crispy.

  2. SUNFLOWER SEEDS

    Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat with the sunflower seeds. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  3. DRESSINGS

    In a bowl, combine ½ the chopped parsley and the plain yoghurt with some seasoning. Loosen the hummus with a drizzle of oil and water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Toss the julienne carrots through the hummus and season.

  4. PAN-FRY THE BASA

    When the roasting veggies have 5 minutes to go, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the basa dry, coat in the remaining Moroccan Rub (or to taste) and season. When the pan is hot, fry the basa for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. TIME TO PLATE UP!

    Make a bed of rinsed green leaves, load it up with the hummus carrot slaw and the roasted green beans, lentils, and onions. Top with the golden basa, a dollop of the parsley yoghurt, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds and the remaining parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
