  1. MOROCCAN BUTTERNUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in ½ the NOMU rub, oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. CRACK ON WITH THE KOFTAS

    Place the mince and garlic in a bowl. Combine with the remaining NOMU rub and lightly season. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mince from sticking. Roll into 3 [6]|#7DA0D7 koftas. Set aside until frying.

  3. CREAMY HUMMUS

    To a bowl, add the hummus, and the yoghurt. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency and season.

  4. INTO THE FRYING PAN

    Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the koftas until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes (shifting as they colour).

  5. OLIVE & MARROW SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the salad leaves, the marrow, ½ the mint, the olives, the raspberry vinegar, and season.

  6. MMMOUTHWATERING MEAL

    Dish up the fresh salad, and top with the golden koftas. Side with the spiced butternut. Drizzle over the hummus dressing, and garnish with the remaining mint. Divine, Chef!
