Instructions

Roast the Beetroot
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium bowl, combine the chermoula spice blend, salt (for the chicken), 1/2 the yoghurt and 1/2 the garlic. Add the chicken thigh, season with a pinch of pepper and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.

Get prepped
2

Finely chop the brown onion. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Slice the lemon (see ingredients list) into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the remaining yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.

TIP: Wear gloves to prevent the beetroot from staining your fingers!

Cook the rice
3

In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, currants, basmati rice, salt (for the rice) and the chicken stock. Bring to the boil, stir, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

Cook the chicken
4

While the rice is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Finish the rice
5

Wash the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the beetroot and cook, stirring, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently stir the beetroot mixture through the rice.

Serve up
6

Thickly slice the chicken. Divide the jewelled garlic rice between plates and top with the chermoula chicken and a dollop of lemon yoghurt. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
