Gochujang Chicken, Butternut squash, Parsley and Turnips

A Korean French fusion dish 😁 Gochujang is one of my favourites🍁 The spicy flavour of it cut with sweetness of pumpkin purée and sourness of pickled turnips 🍗 This is complimented with a clean and fresh taste of parsley salad and the crunchiness of marinated carrots 🥕 This gochujang dish was super delicious and satisfying 🎃 I pickled turnips with beets and they got this gorgeous pink colour on them 💕

Method

  1. Warm up the oven on 200 degrees
  2. Start with mixing all the Chicken marinate ingredients, marinate the chicken legs and let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour
  3. Peel the turnip, the beet and the carrot use a mandolin to cut them to discs
  4. Place a sauce pan on the stove mix the water, apple cider vinegar and sugar. As soon as it starts boiling, take it off the gas and drop the turnip and beets in the pickle liquid
  5. Cut the butternut squash in half remove the seeds, score the pumpkin surface
