Cooking Steps

1
  • Finely chop the shallot.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the shallot and chicken for 2 minutes.
  • Add a knob of butter, ras el hanout, and white long-grain rice and fry for 1 minute, stirring regularly. 
2
  • Add the water, the chicken stock cube and lemon thyme to the rice and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 - 17 minutes.
  • When the rice is done, turn off the heat, mix in the apricot and let it stand until serving. 
3
  • In the meantime, slice the courgette and half the romano pepper lengthwise.
  • Heat a frying pan without oil over medium heat. Roast the pistachio nuts for 1 - 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same frying pan heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • Roast the courgette and romano pepper for 7 - 9 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

 

Did you know...courgettes are technically classified as a fruit, as are cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes. Courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.

4
  • Cut the lemon into wedges. Remove the lemon thyme from the rice.
  • Serve the chicken and rice on deep plates along with the roasted courgette and romano pepper.
  • Drizzle the zhoug and labne over it.
  • Serve with the lemon wedges.
