  1. ROAST THE BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the deseeded butternut into bite-size chunks and spread out on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. At the halfway mark, sprinkle the drained lentils over the tray and return it to the oven for the remaining cooking time until the lentils are crispy.

  2. CHICKEN PATTIES

    Thinly slice the green parts of the rinsed spring onion and set aside for serving. Finely chop the white parts and place in a bowl with the chicken mince, grated garlic, and Cajun Rub to taste. Mix well to combine and season to taste. Shape into 2 patties (about 2cm thick) and set aside until frying.

  3. TOAST THE PUMPKIN SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  4. DRESS IT UP & FRESHEN IT UP

    Combine the hummus with a drizzle of oil and three-quarters of the chopped mint. Mix with lukewarm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Place the rinsed salad leaves in a bowl with the cucumber ribbons (or half-moons). Crumble in half of the drained feta, add a drizzle of oil, and toss to combine.

  5. FRY THE SPICY PATTIES

    When the roast veg has 5 minutes to go, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden, gently pressing them down with a spatula to ensure they cook all the way through. Remove from the heat on completion and allow them to rest in the pan for 2 minutes before serving.

  6. WHAT A FEAST!

    Make a bed of green salad and scatter over the roast butternut and crispy lentils. Top with the chicken patties and crumbles of the remaining feta. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds, the remaining chopped mint, and the spring onion greens. Lastly, drizzle with lots of hummus dressing! Magnificent, Chef!
