This fragrant stew gets its flavour from the delicious Moroccan-inspired curry paste. A mild yet tasty base of onion and coconut milk is revived with refreshing mint, all on a bed of pillowy garlic rice. Divine!
Due to recent sourcing challenges, we’ve replaced silverbeet with baby spinach leaves, which may be a little different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!

20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1.5 cup
water (for the rice)
¼ cup
water (for the sauce)
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. 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 the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Thinly slice the carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Cut the boneless chicken drumsticks into 2cm chunks
In a medium bowl, combine the chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion and carrot, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the Moroccan curry paste, water (for the sauce), coconut milk and chicken-style stock powder and simmer until the sauce has slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes
Return the chicken to the pan, then add the baby spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted and combined, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
Pick and thinly slice the mint leaves. Divide the garlic rice between bowls. Top with the Moroccan chicken and coconut stew. Garnish with the mint to serve.
