Garlic and lemon flavors that'll have you craving more.
Ingredients:
  • 250g (1 1/4 cups) white long-grain rice
  • 600g chicken thigh fillets, coarsely chopped
  • 3 green shallots, ends trimmed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 1 egg
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 8 large silver beet leaves, washed, dried
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 x 400g can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • 1 tsp chicken stock powder
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh basil
Instructions:
  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions until tender, then drain.
  • Prepare the sauce by lightly spraying a non-stick saucepan with olive oil spray over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, then add tomato, water, and stock powder. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Finish by stirring in basil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • In a food processor, combine chicken, shallot, garlic, egg, and lemon juice. Pulse until finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Trim the thickest part of the stems from the silver beet leaves using a sharp knife. Divide the chicken mixture into 8 portions. Lay a silver beet leaf on a clean work surface and spoon one portion of the chicken mixture down the center. Fold in the ends and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining silver beet leaves and chicken mixture to create 8 rolls.
  • Arrange the rolls, seam-side down, in a bamboo steamer set over simmering water. Steam for 4-5 minutes until vibrant green and fully cooked. Slice before serving.
  • Scoop the rice onto individual serving plates. Arrange the chicken on top of the rice and generously pour the flavorful tomato sauce over everything before serving.
