Cooking Steps

Prepare the stock in a pot or saucepan. Dice the carrot.
Add the bulgur and bring to a boil, then cover with the lid and cook gently for 2 minutes.
Add the carrot and boil for 6 - 7 minutes, then add the dates and cook for 1 more minute.
Turn off the heat and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Melt half of the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breast for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, finely dice the courgette.
Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium, then add the African-inspired spices, the courgette and the onion.
Mix well, then cover with the lid and allow to cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Melt the rest of the butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shaved almonds for 2 - 3 minutes or until golden, then take the pan off the heat.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mix well to combine (see Tip). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tip: this meal is high in calories. If you're watching your calorie intake, just use half of the mayonnaise.

Serve the bulgur on deep plates and top with the chicken and vegetables.
Garnish with the buttered almonds and drizzle with the lemon mayonnaise to finish.
