Cooking Steps
- Prepare the stock in a pot or saucepan. Dice the carrot.
- Add the bulgur and bring to a boil, then cover with the lid and cook gently for 2 minutes.
- Add the carrot and boil for 6 - 7 minutes, then add the dates and cook for 1 more minute.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Melt half of the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breast for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, finely dice the courgette.
- Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium, then add the African-inspired spices, the courgette and the onion.
- Mix well, then cover with the lid and allow to cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Melt the rest of the butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shaved almonds for 2 - 3 minutes or until golden, then take the pan off the heat.
- Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mix well to combine (see Tip). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
