SESAMASH
Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the Carrot chunks and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter (optional), seasoning, and the sesame oil. Cover to keep warm.
TOASTED NUTS
Place the cashews in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
SIZZLING Chicken
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Chicken strips and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside.
CREAMY COCO-SAUCE
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced Onion and the sliced red & yellow peppers and fry for 4-6 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated Garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the coconut milk, the tamari, the cumin, a sweetener of choice (to taste), and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Leave to simmer for 5-8 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add a splash of water if it reduces too quickly. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the browned Chicken strips .
OPEN SESAME
Plate up the sesame mash and sprinkle over the toasted nuts. Side with the creamy coconut Chicken and garnish with the chopped coriander. Great work, Chef!
