MAKE THE MASH
Place the Carrot pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 25-30 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover. Alternatively use a blender or food processor.
CORN ON THE COB
Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium heat with enough water to cover the base. Add the corn on the cob and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cover with a lid and cook until all the water has evaporated, 8-10 minutes. Remove the lid and add a knob of butter, a drizzle of oil, and ½ of the NOMU rub. Fry until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (turning as it colours). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SOME PREP
Peel and grate the Garlic. Rinse, pick and roughly chop the fresh Oregano.
FILL UP ON GOLDEN FILLETS
Pat the Chicken mini fillets dry with paper towel. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken mini fillets until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with the grated garlic, the remaining NOMU rub, ½ the chopped oregano, 20g of butter, and the lemon juice (to taste). Reserve the pan juices.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the buttery mash. Side with the Chicken tenders with all the pan juices and the charred corn. Garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining oregano.
