  1. CHICK & ONION

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the drained chickpeas and onion wedges until crispy and golden, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). If the chickpeas start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan and season. Alternatively: Air fry at 200°C until cooked through and crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. MARROWS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil if necessary. When hot, fry the baby marrow pieces until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.

  3. CHICKEN

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 4-5 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, spice the chicken with the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  4. CREAMY GREEN SAUCE

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the peas and the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and add to the blender along with the yoghurt and 2 tbsp of water. Pulse until a smooth sauce. Remove from the blender, season, and set aside. Alternatively: Add the garlicky peas and the yoghurt to a bowl. Mash with a fork or a potato masher until combined. Loosen with 2 tbsp of water, mix to combine and season.

  5. DINNER IS SERVED

    Combine the shredded leaves with the chickpeas & onions. Make a bed of the green sauce, top with the loaded chickpeas, the baby marrow pieces, and the chicken slices. Well done, Chef!
