A creamy element is always a sure-fire way to calm down the spiciness on your plate, Chef. We’ve used this tasty trick by adding a zesty yoghurt to coat the fresh olive salad. This balances the delectably fiery peri-peri chicken breast, served on a bed of turmeric & masala rub-infused jasmine rice and a buttery corn on the cob.

  1. GOLDEN RICE

    Place the rice and golden rub in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. CHARRED CORN

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Fry the corn until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes (turning as it colours). Remove from the pan, season, and set aside. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 10-15 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. PERI-PERI Chicken & SALAD

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and season. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and then baste with the peri-peri sauce (to taste). Rinse the salad leaves and roughly shred. In a bowl, combine the leaves, olives, nuts, and lemon yoghurt (to taste).

  4. TIME TO EAT

    Make a bed of the golden rice, top with the peri-peri Chicken, side with the corn, and the salad. Well done, Chef!
