Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop mild chorizo (see ingredients) and capsicum. • Grate carrot. • Finely chop celery.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, chorizo and capsicum, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add carrot and celery and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic paste, tomato paste and herb & mushroom seasoning to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add water and brown sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Add pearl couscous and butter, stirring to coat, 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and season to taste.
• Meanwhile, combine rocket leaves, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. • Divide Mediterranean chicken, chorizo and veggie couscous between bowls. • Top with dressed salad leaves. Crumble over feta to garnish. Enjoy!
