Ingredients:
  • 20.00 ml roasted coriander seeds
  • 20.00 ml roasted cumin seeds
  • 20.00 ml roasted fennel seeds
  • 500g chicken thigh cutlets or drumsticks
  • 20.00 ml ghee
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 300g white long-grain rice
  • 20.00 ml chopped macadamias
  • 62.50 ml currants
  • 20.00 ml chopped preserved lemon
  • 700ml Plant Based Chicken Style Liquid Stock
  • 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch of dried chilli flakes
  • 1 handful fresh mint, flat-leaf parsley and watercress leaves
Instructions:
  • Crush coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and a pinch of salt using a mortar and pestle until coarse. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-based casserole dish over medium-high heat, melt ghee until shimmering. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through. Then, transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • - Lower the heat and sauté onions for 2 minutes until softened. - Mix in garlic, season with salt, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden. - Incorporate ground spices, then add rice, macadamias, currants, and preserved lemon, stirring well to combine.
  • Add the chicken back to the dish and carefully pour in the stock, gently stirring to mix with the rice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the dish and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it stand, covered, for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
  • Uncover and generously sprinkle with herbs, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with chili for a kick of heat. Season with salt to taste. Serve and enjoy.
