2 tbs chilli paste with soya bean oil (available from Asian food shops – substitute chilli jam)
Zest and juice of 1 lime (we used a microplane)
1 chorizo, casing removed, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1 bunch coriander, sprigs picked
2 cups watercress
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange sweet potato in a single layer. Drizzle with oil and season. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelised.
Meanwhile, to make chilli mayo, place mayonnaise, chilli paste, lime zest and juice in a food processor and whiz until smooth and combined. Season.
Place chorizo in a non-stick frypan over medium-low heat. Cook, tossing frequently, for 4 minutes until crisp and golden.
Arrange sweet potato in a large serving dish. Scatter with chorizo, pumpkin seeds, coriander and watercress. Drizzle with chilli mayo to serve.
For the dressing, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and whiz until combined. If not using immediately, transfer to a small jar, secure with a lid and chill for up to 1 week. Shake well to serve.
Divide the Asian dressing among four 2 cup (500ml) Mason jars. Divide the rice, followed by sweet potato, pomegranate seeds, spinach, carrot, chicken and sprouts among jars, pressing down after adding each ingredient to form separate layers. Seal with lids and chill until ready to serve.
To serve, tip the contents of each jar into a bowl and gently toss to combine.

Ingredients
50g unsalted butter, plus extra for the toast
3 long green shallots, thinly sliced
1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
1 cup (250ml) milk
200g raw crab meat, picked
1 large pinch nutmeg
1 tsp sweet paprika, plus extra to scatter
2 tsp English mustard
100g Gruyere or cheddar cheese, coarsely grated, plus extra to serve
1 tsp tarragon, finely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
16 slices white bread
Directions
Heat butter in a small non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the long green shallot and cook, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes, then scatter over the our. Cook, stirring continuously, for 1-2 minutes or until a smooth paste has formed but the flour has no colour.
Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes, before gradually stirring in the milk until combined. Fold through the crab, spices, and mustard. Cook, stirring gently and continuously, for 1-2 minutes until crab is just cooked. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese and tarragon. Season to taste then stir in the lemon zest and juice, and set aside, stirring occasionally, until cooled completely. Cover surface directly with baking paper until ready to use.
Butter one side of the bread and place on some baking paper, buttered-side down. Spread 1/4 cup of the crab mixture on the bread, scatter with extra cheese, then top with another slice of bread. Spread the top piece of bread with more butter. Scatter both sides of buttered bread with extra paprika.
Repeat with remaining bread and crab mixture. Grill, in batches, on a cool braai for 2-3 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.
Place 750ml water and sugar in a saucepan with 3 tsp salt and place over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle simmer and remove from heat. Cool, then add lemon slices. Cover with baking paper to ensure lemons are submerged and place back on the lowest heat possible. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the lemon rind has become translucent. Drain, then cool completely in the liquid.
Cut the heirloom tomatoes into quarters and arrange them on a serving platter with the diced watermelon. Add a few slices of the confit lemon and sprinkle with the basil leaves. Season well to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
Finish by drizzling over the olive oil and lemon juice.
