CHARRED CORN
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CAJUN CHICKEN
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. During the final minute, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
BRING ON THE BACON
Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and roughly chop.
OPTIONAL EGG
Bring a pot of water to the boil for the egg (optional). When the water is boiling, cook the egg for 6-8 minutes for medium, 6 minutes for medium-soft, and 8-10 minutes for medium-hard. Drain and submerge in cold water. Peel, slice in half, and season before serving.
HOMEMADE DRESSING
Halve the avocado and remove the pip. Peel the skin off, keeping the flesh intact. Thinly slice ½ the avocado. Place the remaining avocado in a blender with the creamy lemon mayo, the garlic powder, and seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy. Loosen with water in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency.
COLOURFUL SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded green leaves, the halved tomatoes, the charred corn, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
LOVELY DISH, CHEF!
