Cod Bowl in za'atar
The kind of Middle Eastern plate you make on repeat. za'atar, a proper slow-cook, and a finish...
This Middle Eastern Slaw leans on pomegranate and mint to do the heavy lifting. We char the Chicken Breast for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the pomegranate and mint elements, and pat the chicken breast dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the chicken breast. Cook over a fierce heat until well charred in patches, then finish through.
Stir in the sumac and the rest of the pomegranate and mint flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Finish with the chopped mint and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
