Cooking Steps
a) Boil a half-full kettle.
b) Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces. Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces.
c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the courgette and onion. Stir-fry until browned on the outside and softened, 5-6 mins. Add the garlic. Stir-fry for 1 min.
c) Stir in the bulgur until coated, 30 secs. Stir in the chicken stock paste and water for the bulgur wheat (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Put a lid on the pan and remove from the heat.
d) Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
b) Once hot, lay the chicken thighs flat in the pan. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. Fry until the chicken is browned, 4-5 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
a) Once the chicken is browned, add the West African style seasoning, cider vinegar, pomegranate molasses, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
b) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Once the chicken has cooked, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount). Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.
b) Once the bulgur wheat is cooked, stir through half the mint.
a) Share the bulgur wheat between bowls.
b) Top with the chicken and sauce.
c) Sprinkle over the remaining mint and rocket leaves to finish.
