Ingredients:
- 1 cup (= 200g) Earth Goods Organic Quinoa, cooked
- 1 tbsp. Earth Goods Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil (plus extra for serving)
- Earth Goods Fine Sea Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 450g chicken tenders (or skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips or cubes)
- Juice of one lime
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 tsp. fennel seeds
- 1 tsp. sesame seeds (plus extra for serving)
- 1 tsp. coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp. cashews, crushed
- ½ cup coriander leaves, chopped
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions:
- In the meantime, mix the cooked quinoa with the coriander, parsley, and scallions in a bowl. Toss and serve in a plate, place the chicken on top and sprinkle some sesame seeds with a drizzle of oil before serving. Enjoy!
- Grind the spices (cumin, fennel, sesame, coriander seeds, and cashew nuts) in a grinder or mortar & pestle.
- In a bowl, mix lime juice, minced garlic, spice mix, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken, in a large salad bowl. Rub the marinade over the chicken and let sit for 15-20 minutes, in the meantime soak skewers in water for 10 minutes.
- Drain chicken from the marinade and feed them onto skewers; you can either grill them or cook them in the over until golden and cooked through (about 15 minutes). TIP: To add some moisture, keep the marinade for basting at the very end and let it cook for 2-5 minutes longer while making sure you don’t burn the spices; you just want them slightly caramelized.
