One-Pan Malt-Asian Coconut Noodles

Read in Maltese

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ Gas Mark 6. Prepare an ovenproof casserole dish which comes with a lid. If you do not have a tight fitting lid, use some foil. Works just fine. Warm the oil in the casserole dish over low heat and fry the desiccated coconut for 3-4 minutes or until it browns a little (do not leave unattended as they burn easily). When the coconut starts to brown, add the sausage, garlic, turmeric, pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, bay leaves, coconut milk and sweet tomato paste. Increase the heat and mix everything well.  Crush the noodles in half in your hands and scatter into the coconut mixture. Now add the cubes of chicken breast and soak both the noodles and chicken in the coconut mixture as much as you can. Put a lid on and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the noodles and chicken are cooked through. Spoon into bowls and serve with the coriander leaves and some wedges of lemon if you wish.

Preheat oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6). Split open the pitta breads and cut them into nacho-sized triangles. Transfer the cut pitta triangles onto a baking dish and toast for 12 minutes. Set them aside.

Warm the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and cook the onion on low heat for 7 minutes, until caramelized. Lower the heat and stir in the aubergines and cook until soft. Add the paprika, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Add the minced beef and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Take off the heat and set aside.

In a heatproof bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, ġbejniet, tahini, lemon, garlic and salt. In a smaller saucepan, pour some water, enough to come up 3cm up the sides. When the water is simmering, reduce heat to low and place the yoghurt-filled heatproof bowl over the saucepan (bain marie). Using a whisk, beat well until the mixture is warm and smooth. Take off the heat.
On a large plate, arrange the pitta triangles and top them with the beef and aubergine mixture. Pour the yoghurt mixture over the beef and aubergine. Top with the cranberries, pistachios and mint. Serve.
