Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Add 300ml water (per 2P) and half the stock to a large pot for the bulgur.
  • Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
  • Zest and quarter the lime. Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
  • Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Cook the Bulgur

  • Once the water is boiling, stir in the bulgur then bring back to the boil. 
  • Simmer for 1 min then pop a lid on the pot and remove from the heat. 
  • Leave aside for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, stir the lime zest through the bulgur, fluffing it up as you go.

3
Fry the Chicken

  • Meanwhile, place a large pan over high heat with a generous drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chicken and sweet potato and cook until browned on the outside, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.

4
Add Some Spice

  • Lower the heat of the pan to medium-high then add the ras-el-hanout with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Pour the passata, remaining stock, coconut milk, 125ml water (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) into the pan.

5
Simmer the Stew

  • Stir in the lentils and peanut butter and give everything a good mix.
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the stew becomes too thick.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Spoon the fluffy bulgur into bowls.
  • Top with generous helpings of chicken, lentil and sweet potato stew.
  • Garnish with, scallion, peanuts and lime wedges.
