PASTA PARTY
Boil a full kettle. Fill a pot with the boiled water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once bubbling rapidly, add a drizzle of oil and cook the pasta for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Keep stirring for the first 3 minutes to prevent sticking, then stir sporadically during the remaining cooking time. Drain on completion, return to the pot, and toss through some oil to further prevent sticking.
YOU HAVE BEEN CORNED
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Corn and fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred. In the final minute, add a knob of butter and ½ the rub. Toss until the corn is fully coated in the rub. Remove from the pan on completion.
Chicken: CHECK!
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and coat in the remaining rub. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes per side until cooked though. Remove from the heat on completion and set aside to rest for 3 minutes.
COMBINATION STATION
In a bowl, combine the sour cream with ½ the chopped coriander, seasoning, and a splash of water. In a salad bowl, add the cooked pasta, drained black beans, chopped pickled peppers, charred Corn, chopped Tomato, cooked Chicken, seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil, and ½ the coriander sour cream. Toss until fully combined.
DINNER IS SERVED!
Dish up a hearty portion of the pasta salad. Dollop over the remaining sour cream and sprinkle over the sliced spring onion. Garnish with the remaining coriander. Beautiful work, Chef!
