Seared chicken paella

40 minutes

Roast Moroccan-rubbed chicken thighs and sweet peppers

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

8 free-range chicken thighs
Spicy Moroccan rub
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Olive oil
8-10 sweet salad peppers, seeded and sliced lengthways
375 ml chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
Couscous, to serve
Harissa sauce, to serve

Method

Season the chicken with Moroccan rub and crushed garlic, lifting the skin to get to the flesh.

Moisten with olive oil. Arrange the chicken and lightly seasoned peppers in a single layer in a roasting pan.

Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 200°C until the chicken is browned and tender, about 1/2 an hour.

Transfer to a platter. Pour the chicken stock and lemon juice into the roasting pan.

Bring to the boil on top of the stove and stir, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Check the seasoning and spoon over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley.

Serve with couscous and harissa sauce on the side.

Cook's note: Harissa paste is a delicious North African spice mix. Find it at delis or farmer's markets or make your own at home.

TASTE’s take:

Sweet peppers are the quintessential taste of summer. Bake a double dish to share at a casual supper, or to enjoy the leftovers cold the next day. If you like a bit of a kick, serve harissa on the side.
