Cooking Steps
• Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch red onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the onion. Stir to coat and set aside.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Halve snacking tomatoes.
• Roughly chop Kalamata olives.
• Grate cucumber (see ingredients) and squeeze out
any excess moisture using paper towel.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat.
• When hot, cook half the garlic until fragrant,
1 minute.
• Transfer garlic oil to a small heatproof bowl, then
add Greek-style yoghurt (see ingredients) and
grated cucumber. Stir to combine. Season to taste.
• In a medium saucepan, add a drizzle of olive oil, garlic and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and salt and bring to the boil. Add couscous, stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken and chermoula spice blend. Drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper and toss to coat. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Fluff the couscous up with a fork and stir through rocket and tomatoes.
• Drain pickled onion. • Divide garlic couscous between bowls. Top with chermoula chicken. • Crumble over fetta cheese. Spoon over Greek-style yoghurt. Top with pickled onion to serve. Enjoy!
