- Fresh Parsley

- Garlic Clove

From your kitchen:

A SWEET START
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the sweet potato pieces and the sage leaves on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the grated garlic, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the roasted sweet potato in a bowl with a knob of butter and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork and cover.
SPICY CHICKEN & LEMON-PARSLEY MIX
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Coat the chicken in the spiced flour and seasoning. In a bowl, combine ½ the chopped parsley, the lemon juice, and remaining garlic. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. 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 the garlic, lemon & parsley mix, and a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes.
PEA & FETA SALAD
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a salad bowl, toss together the plump peas, the cucumber half-moons, the rinsed green leaves, the crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
A DELISH PLATE
