  1. OFF TO A GRATE START

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the broccoli and cauli pieces until lightly charred, 5-6 minutes. Add ½ of the diced onions and fry until soft, 2-3 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated ginger & garlic. Add a splash of water, cover with a lid, and simmer until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan, mix through ½ the chopped coriander, and seasoning.

  2. MOUTHWATERING MEATBALLS

    In a bowl, combine the mince, the remaining onion (to taste), the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs.

  3. FRY THE FLAVOURBOMBS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove and cover.

  4. LOADED WITH FLAVOUR

    In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the lemon juice (to taste), and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside. In a separate bowl, toss the rinsed leaves with the cucumber ribbons, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  5. THAT PLATE LOOKS GREAT!

    Plate up a bed of the fresh salad. Side with the charred cauli & broccoli. Serve with the chicken meatballs and drizzle over the lemon-laced cottage cheese. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander. Time to dine, Chef!
