  1. START THE SODA BREAD

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly grease and flour a cake tin. In a large bowl, combine the herbed flour, the bicarb, and a pinch of salt. Add the Buttermilk and mix until it forms a sticky dough. (Mix until just combined - don’t overmix!) Add an extra splash of water if the dough is not coming together. Place on a floured surface and shape into a round, flat ball big enough for the greased tin. (You don’t need to knead the dough!) Place into the greased tin and cut a deep cross in the top of the dough with a sharp knife. Pop in the hot oven and bake until browned and cooked through, 25-30 minutes.

  2. SOAK THE SKEWERS

    Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and allow to soak for 10 minutes (this prevents them from burning).

  3. SOME PREP

    In a bowl, combine the creamy chimichurri with ½ the lemon juice (to taste), seasoning, and water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  4. Chicken KEBABS

    Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Thread the chicken onto each skewer, making sure that they are secure. Repeat, filling up each skewer, until all the skewers are full. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Place onto a roasting tray and roast in the hot oven until cooked through, 8-10 minutes (turning halfway). Baste with half of the chimichurri sauce in the final 1-2 minutes.

  5. SIDE SALAD

    To a salad bowl, add the baby tomatoes. Toss with the bocconcini, ½ the parsley, the remaining lemon juice (to taste), seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.

  6. GOOD TO GO

    Plate up the Chicken kebabs and drizzle over the remaining chimichurri sauce. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Serve the tomato and bocconcini salad on the side with the soda bread.
