If you think bobotie is the only savoury recipe that uses apricot jam, think again! The Turkish knows the same tasty trick, and we show you how to use it in this chicken mince recipe. Apricot jam infuses a fruity sweetness into a tomato, chermoula paste, and spicy sauce mix, which is deliciously soaked up by silky onions, browned mince & carrots. Served with steaming basmati rice and tzatziki for creaminess.
