Method
Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Make the jalapeno oil by blending all ingredients at high speed, until smooth. Set aside; you’ll need this when you make the green olive salsa.

Step 3

Rinse the brown rice in cold water. Cover with 1 litre of cold fresh water in a pan, and bring up to a simmer. After a few minutes, when no longer crunchy but not yet soft, still with a bit of chew, strain and rinse with cold water, and leave to cool and dry on a cloth lined tray.

Step 4

Using a hand blender, blend the miso and vinegar together. Stream in the oil slowly to form a thick emulsion. Cover the squash wedges in the emulsion, then roast in the oven for 12 mins.

Step 5

Sweat shallot, shiitake, garlic, chicory in extra virgin olive oil and salt, until softened but with no colour, around 30 minutes.

Step 6

Add in cavolo nero, sauté for a few minutes until the cavolo nero is slightly wilted. Cool for a further 30 minutes until totally soft.

Step 7

Add the citrus juice and zest, and cook until juice has reduced to a syrup.

Step 8

Make the green olive salsa by blitzing the jalapeno oil and all the other ingredients
together in a blender until it forms a chunky mixture.

Step 9

Turn the oven down to 140°C and toast the pine nuts in an even layer for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Serve by adding the brown rice and braised cavolo nero to a plate, top with the squash followed by the tapenade, and lastly the toasted pine nuts.
