Ingredients
CHERMOULA YOGHURT CHICKEN
- 300g chicken thighs
- 1½ teaspoons chermoula
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons natural yoghurt (reserve remainder, to serve)
- ½ teaspoon salt
SPICED TOMATO BULGUR
- ¾ cup bulgur wheat
- ¼ red onion
- 1 tablespoon bulgur spices
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- ½ tomato, diced 1cm
- ½ courgette, grated
- ½ bag baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 1½ teaspoons olive oil
TO SERVE
- Reserved natural yoghurt
- 1½ teaspoons chermoula
- 1-2 spring onions
Steps
-
a full kettle to the boil.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 2-3 pieces. Place in a shallow bowl with all remaining chermoula yoghurt chicken ingredients and toss well to coat. Season with pepper and set aside to marinate.
-
While chicken is marinating, add bulgur and a pinch of salt to a large, heat-proof, bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover and leave to soak for 15-18 minutes, until grains are tender. Drain well through a sieve and return to bowl.
-
Finely dice onion and set aside. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Set aside, covered in foil, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
-
Return pan to heat with a drizzle of oil (if needed). Cook onion for about 1 minute, until softened. Add bulgur spices and cook a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add stock and cook for about 1 minute, until almost evaporated.
-
Remove from heat and transfer to bowl with drained bulgur. Add tomato, courgette, baby spinach and olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine reserved yoghurt and chermoula. Thinly slice spring onions.
-
place spiced tomato bulgur onto plates and top with slices of chermoula yoghurt chicken. Dollop with chermoula yoghurt and sprinkle with spring onions.
