  1. MAKE THE MASH

    Place the pumpkin pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. TOASTED SEEDS

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. GOLDEN GOODNESS

    Return the pan to medium-high 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, and fry until cooked through, 4-5 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.

  4. A GO FOR MUSHIES

    In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock mix with 15ml of water. Set aside. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season and remove from the pan.

  5. ALL THINGS SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add 100ml of water and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diluted stock mix and the grated cheese, and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. In the final minute, add the shredded spinach. Remove from the heat and stir through the plain yoghurt and the cooked mushrooms. Loosen with a splash of warm water (if necessary) and season.

  6. TURN UP THE HEAT

    Heat the mash over medium heat before serving if necessary.
