Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, currants and the water (for the rice). Stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, zest lime to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Roughly chop cucumber, tomato and mint.
• In a small bowl, combine lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, the honey and water (for the glaze).
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, mint, another squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a second medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken breast, turning to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cut chicken into 2cm chunks.Cook chicken until cooked through, 5-6 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Remove pan from heat, then add honey glaze, turning chicken to coat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide jewelled rice between plates.
• Top with chermoula-honey chicken, drizzling over any extra glaze from pan.
• Top with zesty salsa. Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
