Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and bring plenty of water to a boil in a pot or saucepan.
  • Wash or peel the carrots, then cut them into quarters lengthways. 
  • Boil the carrots for 5 minutes, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with the harissa, thyme, honey and a light drizzle of olive oil (see Tip). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast the carrots for 15 – 18 minutes.

Tip: do you have a sweet tooth? Feel free to add some more honey!

Slice the chicken
2
  • Boil plenty of water in a lidded pot or saucepan for the rice. Crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amounts).
  • Boil the rice for 10 – 12 minutes. Drain when finished and leave in the pan with the lid on to keep warm.
  • Slice the onion into half rings and roughly chop the parsley.
  • Slice the chicken thigh fillet into strips.
Fry the chicken
3
  • Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then fry the chicken and onion with the Middle Eastern spice mix for 3 – 4 minutes.
  • Add half of the sambal* and fry for another 3 – 4 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the rest of the sambal* and half of the parsley.
  • Rinse the lentils in a sieve. Add the lentils and Peruvian spices to the rice and mix well. 

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Serve
4
  • Serve the arugula on plates, followed by the lentils and rice as well as the carrots.
  • Serve the chicken on top.
  • Drizzle over the sambal yogurt and garnish with the flat-leaf parsley.
