  1. CAN’T BEET THIS

    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, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CHOP CHOP

    Place the chopped hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CRISPY, JUICY CHICKEN

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

  4. A SALAD SYMPHONY

    In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the shredded leaves, the cucumber ribbons, the gooseberries, the drained feta, and ½ the toasted hazelnuts.

  5. DELISH DISH

    Plate up the juicy chicken slices and dollop over the pesto. Side with the dressed gooseberry salad. Scatter the roasted beetroot over the salad. Sprinkle over the remaining hazelnuts. Cheers, Chef!
