  1. READY THE RICE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 30-35 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.

  2. ROASTED VEG

    Spread the butternut pieces and onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. FANCY GARNISH

    Place the chopped cashews and sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. PICKLED RADISH

    In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 5ml of sweetener, a splash of water, and seasoning. Toss through the radish rounds and set aside to pickle.

  5. CRISPY KALE

    Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, give the tray a shift and scatter over the dressed kale. Roast for the remaining time.

  6. PESTO DRIZZLE

    Drain and reserve the pickling liquid from the radish. Loosen the pesto with the pickling liquid and a drizzle of oil until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.

  7. BOWL ‘EM OVER

    Serve it up buddha bowl style: Make a bed of the black rice. Top with the roasted veg & crispy kale, and the pickled radish. Serve the guacamole alongside. Drizzle with the pesto dressing and garnish with the toasted nut & seed mix.
