Ingredients
SPICED BULGUR
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon Moroccan chicken spice mix
- 1½ cups bulgur wheat
- 1 carrot
- 1 Lebanese cucumber
- ¼ cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Moroccan eggplant dip
MOROCCAN CHICKEN
- 1 pack chicken breast steaks
- 2 teaspoons Moroccan chicken spice mix
EGGPLANT AIOLI
- Remaining Moroccan eggplant dip
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
TO SERVE
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped mint leaves
Steps
-
In a medium pot, bring chicken stock and first measure of Moroccan chicken spice mix to the boil. Add bulgur wheat, cover with a lid, and remove from heat. Leave for about 18 minutes, until tender. Fluff up grains with a fork.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and toss with second measure of Moroccan chicken spice mix. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Grate carrot; dice cucumber 1cm; thinly slice cabbage until you have 2 cups worth. Set aside. Combine Moroccan eggplant dip (reserving 2 tablespoons) and mayonnaise in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), until cooked through and golden. Remove from pan and set aside, covered with foil, to rest.
-
When bulgur is cooked, add veggies, along with 2 tablespoons of the Moroccan eggplant dip and any chicken resting juices. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Thinly slice chicken against the grain.
-
spoon spiced bulgur onto each plate and top with slices of Moroccan chicken. Top with a dollop of Moroccan eggplant dip and garnish with mint leaves.
