  1. BEGIN WITH BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the roasted butternut in a bowl with a knob of butter and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork and cover.

  2. SILKY, SWEET ONIONS

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener (to taste). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  3. THYME FOR THE VEG

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms and the chopped thyme until the mushrooms are golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened. Add the dressed kale to the golden mushrooms and fry until slightly wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, add the drained feta and the caramelised onions, season, and cover.

  4. BUTTER-BASTED CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. PEPPER SAUCE

    Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and add the crème fraîche, the black pepper, and a splash of water. Mix until creamy and saucy.

  6. SAUTEED SENSATION

    Plate up the sliced chicken and pour over the creamy pepper sauce. Side with the sauteed veg and the butternut mash. Enjoy, Chef!
