It sustains us, intrigues us and brings us together. Ahead of Christmas, and the launch of her first cookbook, titled Boardroom to the Kitchen with Nomfundo Mcoyi: From Boss Meals to Supermom Dishes, Nomfundo invited us to have a peek at some of her favourite festive dishes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As the title suggests, Nomfundo\u2019s book offers readers a behind-the-scenes look into the her life as a highly-successful entrepreneur and how the kitchen has been an integral part of her family life.

Her cookbook is filled with easy-to-interpret recipes and above all is designed to be a home kitchen-friendly recipe collection, with the recipes making use of ingredients that are pantry staples. A well-known adage amongst chefs is that you eat with your eyes first, so to ensure that the dishes are presented at their best, each recipe has been photographed and styled to capture the essence of the dish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeals are an important part of our family and community rituals,\u201d she says. \u201cI was fully involved in the creative process of this cookbook and a lot of love, care and time has been invested into this passion project. I\u2019m sharing these recipes not only because I enjoy them, but because I\u2019d like to think others will too \u2026 perhaps even, like me, around your Christmas table! Happy cooking everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12850\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/12\/DSC_3004.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>STARTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nomfundo\u2019s Taco\u2019s Four Ways<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buttermilk Chicken Taco<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll need:<\/strong><br \/>\n6 chicken breasts, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 \u00bd tsp. smoked paprika, 2 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. dried chilli flakes, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 6 small tortilla, grilled, 2 cups of red cabbage, thinly sliced, 1 avocado, sliced, coriander<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Goddess dressing<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00bd cup leaf parsley, \u00bd cup coriander leaves, \u00bd cup basil leaves, \u00bd cup dill, \u00bd cup mint leaves, 2 garlic cloves roughly chopped, juice of \u00bd lemon, 200g mayonnaise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make:<\/strong><br \/>\nMix butter milk and spices together in a bowl, add the chicken breasts, cover and chill for four hours or marinate overnight.<br \/>\nFor the Green Goddess dressing, place herbs, garlic, lemon juice and mayonnaise in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Peel, halve and parboil the vegetables in a pot of boiling salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and allow to dry. Add the remaining rosemary sprigs and whole garlic cloves to the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with some olive oil. Tip the vegetables into an oven tray and place beneath the lamb to allow the vegetables to absorb all the flavoursome juices from the lamb.<br \/>\nCrush the peeled garlic into a bowl; add the chopped rosemary, lemon zest and olive oil. Ensure that the lamb is liberally covered with the garlic rub and season with salt and pepper. Place the lamb on the bars of the oven rack above the vegetable tray. Cook the lamb for an hour 15 minutes for a medium roast or 1 hour 30 minutes for well done. While the lamb cooks, make the mint sauce. Chop mint leaves and place them in a small bowl. Mix in the sugar, add a good pinch of salt, a tablespoon of hot water and the vinegar and serve with the roast.
