ROAST MOMENT
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the chicken on a roasting tray. Pat dry with paper towel. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and becoming crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CUCKOO FOR COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
PREP STEP
While the couscous is steaming, rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Drain the feta. Rinse, trim and cut the baby marrow into bite-sized chunks.
A LIL NUTTY
Place the pecan nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, roughly chop, and set aside.
MERRY MARROW
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow chunks until charred, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and add to the bowl with the cooked couscous. Add ½ the lemon juice and toss until combined. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the pomegranate dressing, the remaining lemon juice, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil.
