Ingredients List

Macro Free Range Boneless Moroccan Butterflied Chicken

Breads
250g Macro Organic self raising flour
250g Woolworths Natural Greek Style yoghurt
1 tbs Macro Organic Extra Virgin olive oil

Tahini Yoghurt Sauce
4 tbs Woolworths Natural Greek Style Yoghurt
1 tbs Macro Organic Unhulled Tahini
1 clove garlic, finely grated on microplane
1 tbs Macro Organic Extra Virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Pepper, to taste

3 Lebanese cucumber, cut in quarters lengthwise, seeds removed
200g Woolworths Danish Style Feta, crumbled
1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup coriander, roughly chopped
1/4 cup mint, roughly chopped
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
1 green long chilli, thinly sliced
Lemon wedge, to serve
Macro Organic Extra Virgin olive oil, to serve

Method

Breads

Step 1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing well to form a rough dough. Remove from bowl and knead for 5 mins on a floured surface. Shape dough into a ball and cover loosely with a damp towel. Rest for 30 mins.

Step 2. Divide dough into thirds, and cut each third in half. You should now have 6 pieces. Working one dough ball at a time, using a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine) on a floured surface roll out to 2-3mm thickness - these don't need to be pretty and they don't need to be a perfect shape, think of a little mini naan bread.

Step 3. Place pan (you could use fry pan, skillet, griddle pan or even your bbq) over high heat. Working in batches, brush on a little of your ghee / butter / oil onto pan and cook 1-2 mins each side or until golden and beginning to puff up.

Step 4. As you cook your breads, wrap them in a tea towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining breads.

Chicken + Tahini Yoghurt Sauce

Step 1. Preheat your BBQ or griddle pan to medium high heat, cook chicken skin side up for 10 mins, flipping and cooking for further 10 mins or to your liking. Remove from heat and allow to rest before slicing into strips.

Step 2. While the chicken is resting, bring together the tahini yoghurt sauce by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl mixing well until combined and smooth.

Step 3. Load up your flatbreads with a solid schmear of tahini yoghurt sauce, topped with cucumber, chicken, feta, herbs, chili, onion and a wedge of lemon.

Method

Step 1.  Heat the oil and butter in a pan and gently fry the shallots until golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shallots and set aside. Keep the shallot oil aside also. 

Step 2. Soak the saffron* in the hot water for around 5 minutes. Stir the saffron water and shallot oil through the rice, using a fork to fluff up the grains.

Step 3. Cook the broad beans briefly in hot water and place them in cold water to cool down. Drain and add to the rice.

Step 4. Mix through all remaining ingredients, season with salt and serve on a platter. 

Notes

* To get a more vibrant saffron colour, use a mortar and pestle to grind the saffron threads to a powder before adding the hot water.
