  1. GEM SQUASH

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the gem squash in a pot, submerge in water, and place over high heat. Once boiling, cook until easily pierced through with a knife, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pot and cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard, then scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl. Season and mash with a fork until smooth.

  2. GOLDEN Chicken

    Place a pan over medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Alternatively, season and air fry at 200°C until cooked through, 5-8 minutes (shifting halfway). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.

  3. COCO-TOMATO CURRY Chicken

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). Fry the onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the curry paste, the ginger, the garlic and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato & coconut base along with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water and a sweetener (to taste). Simmer until reduced and slightly thickening, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the cooked Chicken, and seasoning.

  4. INTO THE OVEN

    Place the saucy Chicken mixture into an ovenproof dish and cover with a layer of the gem squash mash. Place in the oven and bake until golden, 6-7 minutes.

  5. VEGGIE OVERLOAD

    Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the spring Onion until soft, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the baby marrows and patty pans and fry until charred, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season. In a separate bowl, combine the green leaves, the peppers, and seasoning. Toss through the charred marrows and patty pans before serving.
