CINNAMON Chicken & RICE
Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Add the rinsed rice and the rice spice blend. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on the lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and add a knob of butter. Mix until melted and combined. Season to taste.
TOASTED Almonds
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside for serving.
FRESH SALAD
While the rice is steaming, quarter the tomatoes, finely slice the spring onion, and slice the Radish into rounds. In a bowl, combine the quartered tomatoes, the radish rounds, the spring onion slices, the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
HASHWEH HAPPINESS
Plate up a hearty portion of the spiced Chicken and rice. Top with dollops of the Tzatziki. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds and the crispy onions. Side with the fresh salad. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Tuck in, Chef!
