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.
SUPERB SALAD
Place the lemon yoghurt into a small bowl with seasoning. Loosen with water in 10ml increments until drizzling consistency. In a separate salad bowl, add the salad leaves, Corn, ½ the Almonds, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Set aside.
PERI-PERI Chicken
While the rice is steaming, place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, deglaze with a splash of water, then baste with the peri-peri sauce (to taste), season, and set aside.
AND YOU’RE DONE!
Make a bed of the golden rice, top with the peri-peri Chicken strips, drizzling over any remaining pan juices. Drizzle over the yoghurt. Serve the dressed salad on the side and garnish with the remaining nuts.
