We recommend just classic lettuce but put any salad leaves of your choosing in a bowl with some chopped tomatoes. While the nuggets are in the oven, make a super easy dressing with a teaspoon of mustard, some honey, white wine vinegar, olive oil and plenty of salt and pepper. Toss everything together, and if you’re feeling a bit extra, why not throw in some croutons?

Blitz together tomato passata and a teaspoon puree with a pinch of sugar, some ground cumin, finely chopped chilli and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to taste. Whip together a quick and easy natural yoghurt sauce with some mayonnaise, garlic and mint thrown in. While the nuggets are cooking, sort out a side salad of chopped tomato, onion, parsley and mint, all recessed with lemon juice and olive oil. To serve, heat a couple of pitta breads in the microwave and fill generously with the nuggets, salad and plenty of both sauces.

Measure out ⅓ cup of water and ½ cup of honey and over a low heat, mix them together in a saucepan. Add 5 crushed garlic cloves along with a splash of soy sauce, plenty of lemon juice, a pinch of cornstarch and salt and pepper till the sauce begins to thicken. Make sure not to let it get too thick, as after you take it off the heat, it will continue to thicken and you don’t want the glaze to be too difficult to pour. Once the nuggets are finished in the oven, drizzle the glaze over them, making sure that they are evenly covered. We recommend a sprinkling of sesame seeds and some spring onions on top to serve.
