AUBS & Onion
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the Aubergine and onion on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until softened, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
KEEN ON QUINOA
Place the quinoa in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
CASHEWS & Chickpeas
Place the cashews in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the Chickpeas until golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes. At the halfway mark, add the NOMU rub, shifting constantly to avoid the rub from burning.
