...getting late writing my posts, it has been a busy week, feeling like I'm dumb as hell in my new job... guess its like that whenever you start a new job at a new place where you cant speak your mother language...
so, getting to business, I was really excited about this dish and was a bit disappointed in the end, I think I used far too much orange in the chicken and not enough salt, so, if you try it on be careful with the seasoning and I am going to give you the recipe with 1 orange, rather than 2, so it should be better. the salad was great though!
Here it goes, for 4:
Skewers previously soaked, 4 chicken thigh pieces chopped, 1 orange (rind, peeled and cut into wedges), 1 tbs ground cumin, 2 tbs olive oil, salt & pepper, 2x 400g cans of lentils rinsed, 2 lebanese cucumbers thinly sliced, 1/2 cup firmly packed chopped parsley, 1 tbs chopped chives, salt & pepper, olive oil & vinegar, natural greek yoghurt
1. Pre-heat the grill at medium heat. Place the cumin, orange ring, olive oil in a bowl, mix and coat the chicken pieces. Rub them with salt and pepper and place about 4 pieces into each skewer. Grill it in your oven for about 10 minutes each side. (It really depends on your oven, so take a look eevry 5 minutes to see how they-re going)
2. Place lentils in a large bowl, add the cucumber, orange wedges, parsley, chives, and mix.
Season with salt, pepper a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar.
3. Place a portion of the salad on a place, top with the chicken skewers, serve it with a dollop of yoghurt topped with a pinch of cumin, ground pepper and a drop of olive oil (or lemon juice).
Done, easy easy...
