Instructions

Cook the Onion
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until soft, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally. While the onion cooks, quarter the dried apricots and peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Fry Up
2

Transfer the cooked onions to a bowl and pop your pan back on medium high heat with another drizzle of oil. Add the diced chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is golden brown on the outside, 5 mins, then add the cooked onion, apricots, garlic, chermoula, and honey. Stir everything together and fry until the mixture starts to get a little sticky, 2 mins.

Simmer
3

Stir the flour into the pan and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the water (see ingredients for amount) and add the stock powder. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until mixture has thickened, 3 mins. Stir constantly.

Cook the Kale
4

Stir the kale into the sauce. Cover with a lid (or foil) and simmer until the kale is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.

Bake!
5

Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish and cover with the pastry, trim the edges with a sharp knife. tTIP: Don't worry if the pastry doesn't cover the whole dish! Brush the pastry with a little milk (or water if you don't have milk) and then sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown, 12-15 mins.

Serve
6

While the pie cooks, get your washing up done. Once cooked, spoon the pie into bowls. Enjoy!
