ROAST BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut pieces and drained Chickpeas on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
Carrot FRITTERS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Carrot and fritter flour. Season well. Stir in cold water one tablespoon at a time until the batter comes together. You are looking for a batter with the texture of double cream. If it's too thick, add a little more water.
ROAST VEG MEDLEY
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower pieces, the remaining NOMU rub (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. When the butternut and Chickpeas have 15-20 minutes to go, scatter over the cauliflower pieces and roast for the remaining time until the cauliflower is charred and the chickpeas are crispy and golden.
FRIED FRITTERS
Place a deep pan over a medium-high heat and fill with 4-5cm of oil. When hot, scoop 1 tbsp of the batter per fritter, and gently lower it into the oil. Deep fry until cooked through and golden, 3-5 minutes (flipping halfway). Drain on paper towel.
TOSSED SALAD
In a bowl, toss the rinsed salad leaves, the sliced Radish, the chopped peppers, seasoning, and olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt, the squeezed Cucumber, ½ of the chopped coriander, and seasoning.
