  1. ROASTED Butternut

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ¾ of the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. READY THE RICE

    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, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.

  3. DRESSED PEPPERS

    Coat the red & green pepper pieces in oil, the remaining NOMU rub, and seasoning. When the Butternut has 10 minutes to go, add the dressed peppers and roast for the remaining time.

  4. TOASTED CASHEWS

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

  5. MIX THINGS UP

    In a small bowl, mix together the pomegranate dressing and a sweetener. In a salad bowl, combine the cooked rice, the roasted Butternut and pepper pieces, the rinsed leaves, and ½ the sliced spring onion. Mix through the sweetened pomegranate dressing, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
