Ingredients




4-5 Radishes
2 Beets
100g (1 cup) Fresh Lima Beans
A bunch of Spinach (200g)
2 Chicken Breasts
1 small can Sweetcorn
1-2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Preparation

1 Wash the beans and put them in a large pot filled with water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beans until soft (30-40 minutes). Drain the water, let them cool down before shelling the pods.This step can be done night before to save your time. 2 Meanwhile: wash the radishes and spinach leaves. Slice/cut them and place in a bowl for later. Wash the beetroot and peel it. Be careful when peeling and cutting it – use gloves and apron to avoid staining your hands and clothes. 3 Slice the chicken into thin strips and season with salt. Melt butter in a frying pan, throw the chicken strips in and fry until nice golden brown. 4 Throw in Lima beans and sweetcorn and sautee for a further 2-3 minutes. Season with some black pepper and salt, if needed. 5 Divide all the ingredients between 4 plates and arrange any way you like! 6 Serve warm or cold!
