Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Rinse the freekeh, then add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook for an initial 20 min
2
While the freekeh is cooking, chop the sweet potato[es] (skin on) into small bite-sized pieces
3
Add the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), dried oregano, juice of half [1]lemon to a plate with 1/2 tbsp [1 tbsp]vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give it a good mix up – this is your spice paste
Add the chicken breasts to the plate and turn several times until fully coated in the spice paste
4
Add the chopped sweet potato to one side of a baking tray
Drizzle with 1/2 tbsp [1 tbsp]vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give it a good mix up
Add the coated chicken to the other side of the tray
Put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until everything is cooked through (no pink meat!)
5
Whilst everything is cooking, peel and grate (or finely chop) the garlic
Combine the natural yoghurt with the juice of the remaining lemon, garlic (not a fan of raw garlic? Use half!) and a pinch of salt in a small bowl
Add 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]olive oil and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]coldwater and stir it all together – this is your yoghurt dressing
6
Roughly chop the green beans
Once the freekeh has had 20 min add the chopped green beans and edamame beans to the pot and cook for a further 5-7 min or until everything is cooked through and tender
Drain and return to the pot
Meanwhile, add the pine nut & seed mix to the tray with the chicken and sweet potato and cook for a further 2-3 min or until toasted and golden
7
Add the baby leaf salad and roasted sweet potato to the drained freekeh and veg and give everything a good mix up – this is your freekeh salad
Slice the cooked chicken finely
