AND OFF WE GO…
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the butternut chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season lightly, and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the vinegar in a salad bowl with 40ml of warm water, and whisk in 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice until dissolved. Add in the halved baby tomatoes and diced cucumber, toss to coat, and set aside to pickle.
STEAM THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Using a bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat and stock in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff with the fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside to keep warm.
HALFTIME
When the butternut reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give it a shift. Sprinkle over the dukkah and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time until cooked through and crisping up.
CRUNCHY SEEDS & SMOOTH DRESSING
Place the seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Combine the hummus with 1 tsp of olive oil and ¾ of the chopped parsley. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
YOU’RE ALMOST THERE
Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the schnitzel for 1-2 minutes on one side until golden. Flip, add in a knob of butter (optional), and fry for a further 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion and season. Drain the liquid from the pickle – reserve for drizzling over your meal when plating, or discard. Add the cooked butternut to the bulgur wheat and gently toss until distributed. Cut the schnitzel into 2cm thick slices.
EAT UP, CHEF!
Make a bed of bright bulgur, cover in pickled cucumber and tomato, and finish with the tender beef slices. Drizzle over the hummus dressing, scatter over the toasted seeds, and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley. Warming, filling, and nourishing.
