CREAMY CAULI
Rinse the leeks well and roughly chop ½ of the leeks. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the grated garlic, the chopped leeks, and the cauli pieces until starting to brown, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the cream, cover with a lid, and simmer until soft. Remove from the pan and season.
BLEND IT
When the leek & cauliflower mixture is done, place it in a blender and pulse until a smooth consistency. Cover.
GOLDEN LEEKS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a splash of water. When hot, add in the remaining rinsed leek halves, cover with a lid and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid from the pan and turn the heat to high. Fry off the leeks until the water has evaporated and the leeks start to brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
JUICY CHICKY
Place a clean pan (that has a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
NUTTY BUTTER
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and 30g of butter. Once foaming, add the chopped nuts and fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside the nut-infused butter for serving.
SIMPLE SALAD
Place the rinsed green leaves in a bowl along with the diced cucumber. Toss together with a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice and seasoning. Reheat the cauli pureé if necessary.
ART ON A PLATE!
