Arabic 30 Mins Prep · 75 Mins Cook
- To make the pickled onions, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, 250ml of water, sugar and 1½ tsp of salt until everything has dissolved. Peel and finely slice the onion and place in the pickling liquid and leave at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- To make the preserved lemon yoghurt, finely chop the preserved lemon and flat-leaf parsley. Finely grate in the garlic and season with ½ tsp of salt. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- To prepare the kabsa chicken, combine the kabsa masala, sugar, oil and 1 tsp of salt in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and thoroughly mix so that the pieces are coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Soak the rice for at least 30 minutes then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- Meanwhile, slice the onions into thin wedges. Halve and remove the seeds from the green chilli. Peel and finely grate the ginger.
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot placed over a medium heat and sauté the chilli and onion until slightly golden. Stir in the ginger and tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Season well with the remaining salt.
- Rinse the carrots and slice them at an angle into 5mm-thick rounds. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and purée one of them until smooth.
- Add the carrots and tomato wedges to the mixture and sauté for a further 5 minutes before adding in the tomato purée. Stir in the dry spices and 1L of water and bring to a boil.
- Add the rice to the liquid. Cover the pot and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes to steam through.
- Preheat a griddle pan on a medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and grill, basting with reserved marinade, until cooked through, approx. 10 minutes per side.
- Fluff up the rice using a fork then transfer to a serving dish and top with the chicken.
- Serve with the preserved lemon yoghurt and pickled onions.
