  1. READY THE ROAST

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

  2. TOAST & PREP

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a bowl, loosen the sour cream with a splash of water. Season and set aside. In a separate bowl, season the halved tomatoes.

  3. GOLDEN ONIONS

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  4. CHICKEN PREP

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Coat with oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning.

  5. CHARRED CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter. When hot, fry the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.

  6. SOME FRESHNESS

    In a salad bowl, combine the shredded leaves with a drizzle of olive oil, the toasted nuts, and seasoning.

  7. DINNER IS READY

    Plate up the chicken. Top with a smear of the sour cream & the basil pesto, the golden onions, and the tomatoes. Drizzle over the balsamic reduction. Side with the roasted beetroot and the fresh salad. Garnish with the torn basil. Look at you, Chef!
