• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the 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. Finely chop cucumber and tomato. • In a small bowl, combine lime zest, a squeeze of lime juice, the honey and the water (for the glaze). • In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, another squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season. Set aside. • In a second medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken thigh, turning to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. • Remove pan from heat then add honey glaze, turning chicken to coat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside. ~~~~~~~~~~ MODULAR STEP ~~~~~~~~~~ Custom Recipe: If you've swapped to chicken breast, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add to the spice mixture, as above.
• Divide garlic rice between plates. Top with chermoula-honey chicken, drizzling over any extra glaze from pan. • Top with zesty salsa. Tear over parsley. Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~ MODULAR STEP ~~~~~~~~~~ Custom Recipe: Prepare pan as above. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). In the last minute, add honey glaze, as above.
