Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breast fillets

1 Tbsp fish sauce

2 Tbsp brazil nuts, toasted

2 cloves garlic

1 bunch basil, leaves chopped, plus extra leaves, to garnish

2 lemons, segmented, chopped

½ long red chilli, deseeded, finely diced

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 carrot, cut into batons

1 red onion, sliced

1 cup green beans, sliced lengthways

1 turnip, cut into batons

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

Lime halves, to serve

Method

  1. Put chicken in a bowl with fish sauce and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate. Put in a steamer basket set over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook gently for 15 minutes or until just firm to touch.

  2. Meanwhile, use a mortar and pestle to pound nuts and garlic to form a paste. Add ½ of the basil and ½ of the lemon. Pound. Mix in remaining basil and lemon, and chilli. Set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add chopped veg. Cook for 5 minutes or until just softened. Season. Transfer to plates. Top with chicken. Spoon over a little nut mixture. Serve with remaining nut mixture and lime on the side.
