  1. BUTTERNUT ROASTIN’

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. START THE SAUCE

    Place a pot for the curry over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in ⅔ of the curry paste (to taste) and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut milk and 50ml of water. Cover and simmer until slightly reduced, 6-8 minutes (stirring occasionally).

  3. GET HANDS-ON

    In a bowl, combine the mince with the NOMU rub, the remaining onion (to taste), and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly to stop the mixture from sticking, and roll into 4-5 meatballs.

  4. TOASTING

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until they pop, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. GRAB YOUR PAN

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned but not cooked through, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  6. FINAL TOUCHES

    Once the curry has thickened, mix in the remaining curry paste if you'd like more spice. Pop in the meatballs and simmer until cooked through, 3-4 minutes (basting occasionally). In the final minute, stir through the pepper strips and the shredded spinach until wilted. Add the lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning. Remove from the heat.

  7. BOWL UP!

    Serve up the roasted butternut with the Thai curry and meatballs. Scatter over the toasted seeds and the chopped coriander. Enjoy, Chef!
