Herb Dusted Hake & Creamed Spinach

A pea crumb is pan-fried to a golden hue with a touch of butter & parsley, adding a flavourful crunch to a tender hake fillet. Sided with golden carrot & onion wedges, and a luscious creamed spinach featuring a rich blend of crème fraîche & garlic. So indulgent!

Tangy Apple Salad & Ostrich Steak

You are in for a taste treat with this trio, Chef! Oven roasted leeks & butternut are covered in melted cheese as one of the two sides. The other is a sweet apple, toasted pecans, & creamy feta salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar. These both make the butter-basted ostrich slices shine.

Chimichurri & Ostrich Fillet

Oven-roasted butternut & lentils are paired with a moreish baby tomato relish elevated with fresh rosemary & balsamic vinegar. This stunning veggie base is then topped with butter-basted ostrich fillet slices and crumbled with Danish-style feta. Finished up with dollops of chimichurri sauce.

Harissa Honey Carrots & Ostrich

Harissa paste and honey go hand-in-hand – just like you and UCOOK, Chef! A medley of onion & carrot wedges are infused with honey and Pesto Princess Harissa Paste, then roasted until golden perfection. Served with NOMU Moroccan Rub-spiced ostrich, a homemade whipped feta and fresh mint.

Coriander & Lime Chicken

Chicken is marinated in a sweet and zingy mixture of maple-flavoured syrup, lime juice, fresh coriander & a bunch of other flavourful elements. It is then roasted until succulent & crisp, and served alongside red pepper pesto-coated roasted beetroot. Sprinkled with a final flourish of coriander and chilli flakes.

Lamb Bobotie & Charred Corn Salad

Make everyone entering your home salivate as they smell aromas of this South African favourite.

Grilled Szechuan Chicken & Roasted Veg

From the mountains of the Szechuan province in China, we’re bringing you the szechuan pepper (which is actually a berry, Chef!). Despite its intimidating name, it’s not a spicy flavour but rather citrusy. This exotic spice will elevate butter-basted chicken breast, sided with a walnut & feta salad and oven-roasted veggie medley.

Autumn Hummus & Beef Rump Bowl

NOMU Italian Rub-spiced beef strips are dished up on a creamy hummus base and topped with silky-sweet onions. Sided with crispy lentils, a cucumber & tomato salad, and crumblings of creamy feta.
