Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Peel and finely dice the red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) the ginger and finely chop (or grate)
2
Boil a kettle
Chop the chicken thighs in to bite-sized pieces
3
Dissolve the chicken stock cube[s] in 500ml [800ml]boiled water
Heat a large, wide-based pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-5 min until starting to soften
Add the garlic, ginger, ras el hanout and ground cumin and cook for a further 2 min or until fragrant – this is your onion mix
4
Add the chopped chicken thighs to the onion mix and cook for a further 3-5 min or until well combined and browned all over
Meanwhile, chop the lemon[s] in half
5
Once browned, add the canned tomatoes, chicken stock, lemon juice, orzo and honey
Give everything a good mix up
Transfer to an oven-proof dish, cover with foil and cook in the oven for an initial 20 min
6
After the initial 20 min remove from the oven and give everything a good mix up
Return to the oven for the final 15 min or until most of the liquid has reduced, the orzo is tender and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Meanwhile, heat a dry pan over a high heat
Once hot, add the flaked almonds and cook for 1-2 min or until golden brown
7
Wash and pat the baby leaf spinach dry
Once the chicken and orzo is done add the baby spinach to the dish and season with salt and pepper – this is your One-Pot Moroccan Chicken & Spinach Orzo
