Chicken & VEG
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the onion wedges, the Cabbage chunks, and the pepper pieces on a roasting tray. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and place on top of the veg in the tray. Coat the veg & chicken in oil, seasoning, and the NOMU rub. Place the lemon rounds around the tray. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and becoming crispy, 30-35 minutes. In the final 10 minutes, add the whole, unpeeled garlic clove to the tray and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time.
BUTTERY Butternut MASH
Place the Butternut pieces in a pot of salted water over a medium-high heat. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and ½ the picked thyme. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

DISH UP
