    Instructions

    1

    For the spinach and broccoli, heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan.

    2

    When it starts to brown, add the vegetables and cashew nuts, and sauté for 1 – 2 minutes.

    3

    For the parsnip purée, heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan and sauté the parsnips until soft, about 6 – 7 minutes.

    4

    Add the remainder of the ingredients to the pan. Cook for 15 minutes, drain and purée in a blender until smooth.

    5

    For the coconut, chilli and lemon grass sauce, heat a non-stick frying pan and sauté the lemon grass, ginger, garlic and chilli until soft and fragrant.

    6

    Add the coconut milk, simmer for 15 minutes then strain.

    Notes

    Use a stick blender to give your coconut, lemon grass and chilli sauce a foam effect – so easy and sure to impress! For added indulgence, make the parsley oil shown here by blanching 50g of fresh flat-leaf parsley. Refresh the parsley in ice water, then blend parsley with 50ml extra virgin olive oil and sieve through muslin cloth, an oil filter or even a coffee filter.
